WORK EXPERIENCE:
Graduate Research Assistant/Engineer June 2016- December 2016
Wichita State University
Researched modern ways to intimate if an incident has occurred on the highway.
Analyzed highway data obtained via KDOT (Kansas Department of Transportation) to understand the behavior of the incident vehicle, and to segregate and flag such vehicles in SUMO (Simulation of Urban Mobility).
Formulated and implemented a definition which highlights the incidents occurred, from hundreds of thousands of data points on a highway system.
Successfully implemented TraCi (Traffic control interface) with python as an external server to control simulation in SUMO with Wichita city as route file.
Optimized the problem to a particular speed profile and reduced the recovery time by 51.22%.
76.31% reduction in CO2 was achieved by using rerouters.
Engineering Intern January 2014 – May 2014
National Aerospace Laboratories
Collaborated with two other students to design a cost efficient UAV which can withstand higher and unexpected payloads, emergency situations and a lower wing tip deflection.
Created several designs with varying chamber, spar and rib combination, and materials, in CATIA V5.
Finite Element Analysis (FEA) of the rectangular flat plate wing was further done using Hypermesh for pre-processing and post-processing, accompanied with MSC Nastran as the solver.
Among the three structural representations possible for the wing, shell upon solid (skin of the wing being shell and the core being solid) was adapted after the supporting results of point and pressure loading.
Linear analysis was further completed to verify if the stress and displacement were not exceeding the elastic limit of the material, and dynamic analysis to check the interaction between a component and its supporting structure.
Final design with foam as the material and new representation, yielded in achieving cost efficiency and a 44% increase in Factor of safety, and reduction in the wing tip deflection by 14.5%.
Engineering Intern April 2010 –December 2010
Y.K. Infotech
Applied 5S and Kaizen to improve the efficiency of the work place.
Reduced the inventory costs and lowered the inventory by applying JIT.
Identified and eliminated four other wastes (defects, waiting, non-utilized talents and motion) upon lowering inventory.
Implemented MRP (Material requirement planning) for parts that were extensively used like screws and hinges.
Implemented BOM (Bill of Materials) to keep track of all components like microchips, hard drives, motherboards etc. and their quantities.
Implemented Kanban concept using Legos to be cost efficient, which also helped to reduce waiting and increased the overall efficiency.
Negotiated favorable payments terms with suppliers
Accelerated sales by 12% and reduced costs by 9% after switching the suppliers and modifying the supply chain.

PROJECTS:
Network Configuration March 2016
Successfully created a network for the Metal Works Corporation using LogicNet Plus software for increasing the profit margin by reducing transportation cost.
The data collection was carried out to analyze the optimal distribution network and also the feasible and optimized solution to compensate the increase in demand.
5 new distribution centers were introduced to the existing 2 for reduction in transportation costs by forecasting the demand of the customer and also marinating high service level.
Design of Experiments April 2016
Conducted an experiment to study and screen all factors affecting the degradation rate of PLA (Polylactic Acid) screws.
All the factors were categorized into control variables, response variable, constant held variables and nuisance factor.
General Factorial Design with 2 replications of each concentration level totaling 12 test runs were used to analyze the data.
Experimental analysis and Residual plots were used to check if the model was normally distributed and that the model was statistically significant.
At 5% alpha level the factors were found significant.
Responsive Net March 2016
A competitive business simulation for supply chain management was conducted to see which group can generate maximum profits on a product which is going to be out of demand after a certain amount of duration.
Forecasting and interpretation of the demand graphs were extensively studied to get optimal results.
Decisions to open a new factory and warehouse were made to gain maximum profits keeping costs to minimum.
Starting cash was $5 Million and by the end of 3 days we secured approximately $22.264 Million and were ranked 3rd among 19 groups
