Cranfield University

Flying objects induced a thought about how come things can fly as same as birds. The entire childhood was ruled by these thoughts. Got into Aerospace during bachelor with great passion. A professional in product design and analysis. Augmented to work in a team as well as possess skills to lead a team in a prudent manner. With strong communication skills and the ability to deliver results precisely. An endless thirst to acquire knowledge more about flying things and having strong academic knowledge with honors in Aerospace Engineering. PERSONAL STATEMENT

EDUCATION

MSc in Thermal Power (Aerospace Propulsion): Cranfield University, Cranfield, UK (October 2019 - September 2020)

• Modules: Combustors, Engine Systems, Gas Turbine Performance, Propulsion Systems Performance Integration Turbomachinery, Blade Cooling, Mechanical Design of Turbomachinery, Management for Technology, Simulation and Diagnostics.

• Individual Research Project: Thermal Management System (TMS) design, sizing, and optimization for addressing the increased thermal loads in more electric aircraft. Sizing the Heat exhanger in MATLAB and using it for integrating the Fuel-Oil system using Siemens Simcenter amesim software. Analysing the cooling capability of the system.

• Sofware for Project: Siemens Simcenter Ameisim, MATLAB. B Tech in Aerospace Engineering: Sastra University, Tamil nadu, India (June 2013 - May 2017)

• Modules: Heat transfer in Aerospace Applications, Engineering Thermodynamics, Aerospace Propulsion, Aerodynamic design of Aircraft, Structural design of aircraft, Finite element analysis, Computational Fluid Dynamics, Fluid Mechanics, Aerospace structures, Aerodynamics, Aerospace measurement systems, Space flight mechanics, Rockets and missiles, Compressible flow, Aircraft general engineering, maintenance practice, Control systems, Avionics systems.

• Motivated by participating in the CFD workshop conducted by India Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air conditioning Engineers held at SASTRA University. Various Renowned professors from ISHRAE gave lectures on the usage of computational tools in engineering simulation and performance analysis.

• Academic Project: Computational analysis on energizing boundary layer flow of aerofoil to delay flow separation- Analyzed on computational modeling of dimples in ANSYS Fluent, solid modeling was done in CATIA. The study was focussed on flow field and effectiveness of dimples in mitigating flow separation due to adverse pressure gradient. Also, the study concluded with various optimizations for better flow properties. During project work theoretical understanding was translated into practical knowledge. CAREER HISTORY

Cadd: Trichy,India - Part time trainer (August 2019 - September 2019) Training Center for Softwares related to Mechanical,Civil,Aerospace Engineering.

• Conducted sessions to teach Solidworks and Catia to students in free time.

• Started to clear doubts in 3 major design softwares (Solidworks Catia Ansys) for students.

• Launched 4 days Ansys and catia workshops to impart skills to participants.

• Improved in Matlab by attending crash course in other center. City union Bank: Chennai, India - Associate (January 2018 - March 2019) City union bank limited is an Indian private bank was incorporated as a limited company on october 31 1904.

• Engaged in day to day activities for nearly 1 year on processing applications of customers.

• Gained wonderful opportunity of learning management skillset in a real-life environment and learned some marketing strategies. It was about about 30% of job.

• Valuated customer applications on certain basis and upgraded problem solving skills.Maximum percentage of people preferred offline banking and it gave opportunity to interact with different people.

• Perfected in 3 major skills- Multitasking, Leadership by leading a team productively and excelled as a team worker.

Indian Institute of Science: Banglore, India - Trainee (January 2016 - February 2016) Public institute and deemed university for research and Higher education in Science and engineering

• Designed CANSAT satellite (Simulation of real satellite) helped to transfer theoretical knowledge to practical thing. SInce its weight should not exceed 400 grams,CANSAT was a challenging task.

• Coordinated to assemble communication systems, sensors, system required power in a small size (in minimal volume).Needed to reduce percentage of volume of each component.

• Assembling components was major task as it has certain dimensions to fit in. Also external side includes one parachute system.

• Managed to get a hands on experience in 1 month on designing satellite and great opportunity to grab knowledge about design and launching aspects of satellite. Taneja Aerospace and Aviation Limited: Banglore, India - Trainee (April 2015 - May 2015) First private sector company in India got competency Aircraft, Aerostructures and composite products

• Got influenced by 45 days summer internship and interesting lectures to grasp clear idea about structures and shapes of aircraft.Specially about Aircraft wings.

• Developed skills in aircraft structures and it plays major importance for one aircraft. Able to meet people from different domain background and received clarifications.

• Acquired opportunity to visualize manufacture of airplane parts and its assembly. It was a great place to grasp more knowledge about aviation. HeatTreatment, Surface treatment and sheet metal are 3 facilities I came across.

• Qualified well equipped labs such as NDT, Composite adhesive labs, Simulation lab made us to know more about simulation and able to observe treatments such as Anodization cadmium plating etc. Also came across one highly equipped ATC unit.

• Observed more about different departments in manufacture and maintenance industry. Spent 8 hours a day to explore.

• Software Skills : Certified Professional in Product Design and Analysis - Solidworks, ANSYS Workbench, CATIA MATLAB and Simcenter Amesim

• Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Outlook, Power point, C,C++

• Memberships : Active member of Cranfield Badminton Association.Conquered lot of Badminton competitions in school and college level.

• Language : English
