WORK EXPERIENCE
Internship at ST Engineering Satellite Systems Pte Ltd, Singapore. November’19-February’20
- Developing a software simulator (attitude and
orbit propagators) for spacecraft applications using MATLAB and Simulink.
- Three types of orbit propagator (J2, J4, HPOP) were developed along with various perturbation models.
Master Thesis Project - Developing an ADCS
algorithm for implementing a star tracker on
VELOX-II Satellite March’19-September’19
- Algorithm development for implementing a star
tracker on VELOX-II ADCS using Basilisk simulation environment.
- A complimentary filter was proposed to estimate
the fused attitude of the star tracker along with the VELOX-II.
- The results showed that the star tracker worked
better in the eclipse, and the filter worked better in the sun side region of the spacecraft.
Business Associate at Encore Organization,
Chennai. January’17-May’17
- Acquire new members / donors for Encore
Organization during events / roadshows and
implement new fundraising strategies.
- Lead & Train a team of Fundraisers.
- Work closely with the fundraising team on learning and improving the technique and tactic to raise
funds and engage people to be our regular donors.
Bachelor Thesis Project - CFD Analysis on
Centrifugal Compressor-Impeller Blade.
January’16-April’16
- CFD Analysis is a reliable alternative to
experimental method in determining the pressure
ratio and the isentropic efficiency on the blade
with the effect of back sweep angle.
- The design was made in CATIA V5, where the 2D
model was designed into a 3D model. And the CFD
analysis was done using Ansys Fluent.
ACADEMIC PROJECTS
Determining the Static Stability and Implementing
Stability Augmentation System for an X-Wing
August’18-September’18
- An X-wing model was designed using SolidWorks
and the static stability was determined using the
XFLR-5 software.
- Modelled an uncontrolled and controlled stability augmentation system using MATLAB & SIMULINK
for longitudinal motion and analysed time
response.
Aircraft Design project of a Long-Haul Passenger
and Cargo Aircraft (Modular Concept)
July’17- December’17
- A modular design concept of cabin conversion
system was designed for multi-purpose missions. It could be used both as a commercial jet transport
and as a freighter aircraft. The concept involved
using cabin capsules instead of the whole fuselage. Aircraft Design project of a Subsonic multi-role 10- seater Business Jet. August’15 -December’15
- A conceptual design was developed in two phases
with an in-depth study and analysis of aircraft
performance and structural characteristics.
ACTIVITIES
- Treasurer for TEDx NTU, Nanyang Technological
University, Singapore. Year: 2018-2019, 2019-2020
- Participated in the SIATI seminar on ‘Innovation and R&D by private industries in Aerospace and
Defence ‘in September 2014 at Dr V.M.Ghatage
convention centre (HAL), Bangalore.
- Coordinator for Albedo, Hindustan University,
Chennai - National level Technical Symposium.
Year: 2013-2014, 2014-2015
