Research Assistant, Kettering University: Jan 2019 – present

- Working on my thesis towards implementing “Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy” of a 2D Li-ion battery in COMSOL to help lower resistance of the battery and to understand the root of the impedance, in turn making the battery more efficient in terms of the state of charge and health of the battery.

- Performing dynamic modeling of hybrid electric vehicles with fuel cells to eliminate gasoline engines entirely and improve vehicle range in Simulink.

Ford Test Engineer, Maswer Automotive Private Limited: Jan 2018 – Apr 2018

- Tested all aspects of the Ford product/system such as function/component, system, performance and regression in dynamic and static conditions

- Execution of software and hardware testing and in-depth analysis of faults to eliminate them

- Utilization of defect management systems to triage and track defects

- Collaborated with development teams to investigate and help resolve defects

- Provided technical support to all project stakeholders Engineering Assistant, Honda: Jun 2016 – Jul 2016

- Determined engineering requirements by conducting inspections and analytical tests

- Analyzed and resolved engineering problems by collecting information and feedback

- Final checks and supervising for the approval of the final product ACADEMIC PROJECTS

- Designed a system for electric vehicles for on-the-go charging using SolidWorks increasing the range

- Vibration analysis of skin using FEM and mode shape analysis to minimize the cost and for early detection of skin cancer using SIEMENS NX.

- Understanding the effect of adding a 3-inch seatbelt slack to a child seat for a 3-year old ATD on HIC36 and chest acceleration to improve the safety of a child in a crash

- Vehicle handling analysis of a sedan (FWD) during a brake-in-turn maneuver in ADAMS/Car to improve performance of the vehicle on turns

- Living off the grid: Generating one’s own electricity using a regenerative fuel cell, wind, and solar energy.
