2013 - 2015 Research/Teaching Assistant

University of Texas at Dallas

Developed super/ultra-hydrophobic turbulent drag reducing surfaces (~32 %). Lead a team of 5 and successfully implemented the ideas and available skills in Nano/microfabrication, MEMS to develop patterns for fabricated water repelling surfaces. Worked on MURI: Multi University Research Project

Studied the dynamic behavior of drop on the inclined superhydrophobic surfaces. MEMS, SEM, Pholithography and AutoCAD tools are used for the fabrication and designing of the mask and superhydrophobic surfaces.

Studied the growth formation of micro droplets on the micro-patterned surfaces. Submitted a paper (Under review)

Co-authored 3 papers in reputed journals and co-authored 4 papers in conference proceedings.

Taught Experimental Fluid Mechanics lab to UG students. TA to MEMS and Fluid Mechanics courses
