PROJECT EXPERIENCE

Automated Tricopter Design Project (ongoing project) Role: Founder (self-interest project)

• Designed a unique tricopter and determined equations describing the forces/moments generated by the tricopter. The equations of motion have also been generated and a mathematical model was finalized using MATLAB code.

• State Space form for a linearized model was determined and a robust LQR model-based control system has been generated and tested using Simulink. Please visit my website for further details.

• Project aims to create a prototype capable of autonomous flight using sensors or image processing. Potential Planetary Exploration Rover Project January 2019 – till date Role: Founder (self-interest project) Maryland

• Designed (using Autodesk Inventor and Illustrator) and Built a 6-wheeled rover using laser-cut acrylic sheets and 3D printed parts, manufactured using an Epilog Laser Fusion cutter and Makerbot replicators.

• Programmed multiple microprocessors using python to solve individual tasks and communicate results to one another. Please visit my website for further details.

• Current prototype of rover capable of detecting obstacles and avoiding collision. Satellite Design Project January 2019-May-2019

Role: Structural Design Head Maryland

• Designed an Earth imaging satellite capable of being launched on the Pegasus XL Launch Vehicle.

• As Design Head, I developed a 3D modelled satellite bus using Autodesk Inventor that efficiently carried the equipment on board the satellite.

• This included research work and trade studies on mechanical & thermal properties of potential design materials, developing an optimized CAD model of the satellite and establishing its physical properties (Mass, Center of Gravity, moments of inertia etc.).

• My design was successfully tested for the satellites load bearing capabilities and vibrational limits against the launch vehicle requirements.

Composite Bridge Project March 2018-May 2018

Role: Team member Maryland

• Worked in a team of four to manufacture a carbon fiber composite I-section bridge of dimensions 30”x4”x4” using VARTM method.

• Successfully built and tested the bridge using an MTS machine to find the maximum load to be 2500 lbs. before the bridge deflected by 1 inch.
