PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

Graduate Research Assistant, Arizona State university- Alternative Energy lab. (Sep,2016-Present)

Developed fuel cell using solid polymer electrolyte (SPE) for the process of CO2 reduction to other useful chemicals.

Currently, working on CO2 reduction process control and characterizing the major parameters that effect the process. Conducting experiments, collecting data, documenting & analyzing the data, preparing weekly presentations for project review are the regular tasks.

Shanmugha Precision Forging(SPF)- Design and Manufacturing Intern (Aug,2013-Jun,2014)

Designed, developed products based on DFM principles by collaborating with product development team.

Developed 2D drawings, 3D models of varied range of prototypes, components and assemblies using Solidworks.

Developed QA deliverables such as CAPA, non-conforming material risk analysis, design failure mode & effect analysis

(DFMEA) to verify design, incorporated changes (if any) in conformance with requirements and manufacturability. Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL)- Process Engineering Intern (May,2013-Jun,2013)

Minimized counter-productive operations by conducting time and motion studies. Developed and maintained a lean manufacturing environment, Value Stream Mapping (VSM). Designed an efficient plant layout to optimize flow, reduce waste (time and motion) and boost productivity

Reduced the cycle time 12% by implementing continuous improvement (kaizen) method and eliminating non-value adding processes. Clocked operation times and leveled workload across work stations to reduce idle time by 6.7%. PUBLICATIONS

ACADEMIC PROJECTS

Statistical analysis of data using JMP software to optimize power output from mono-crystalline solar panel.

Designed a test setup using mono-crystalline solar panel & conducted experiment at different insolation levels to measure power output from panel. Performed statistical analysis on raw data using JMP to determine the levels of key factors such as tilt angle, that effect the performance of solar panels. Course : Design of Experiments (IEE 572- ASU) Design and performance analysis of VRF system integrated with DOAS for a two-zone building of 15000 square feet.

Designed and sized all the components of a VRF system integrated with DOAS for a two-zone building and calculated the energy savings that would result by shifting from a VAV system to VRF+DOAS system.

Estimated the annual energy usage of both VRF+DOAS and VAV systems using bin method and developing spread sheets in Microsoft-Excel. Results suggested a total energy savings of 29.89%. Cost Analysis of PV systems at Arizona State University.

Calculated the annual energy usage of different buildings that employ solar power generation on ASU- Tempe campus. Estimated the number of additional panels that would be required and cost associated with their installation, if the solar power contribution for each of these buildings has to be increased by 10%.
