Design of exoskeleton chair (Chairless Chair) August- December 2020

• Designed a CAD model of an exoskeleton chair using SolidWorks, used complaint mechanism to limit linkages instead of hinged joints, additively manufactured the prototype using Fused Deposition Modeling method. Investigation of powder flow in Directed Energy Deposition process January-May 2020

• Dynamic movement of the powder flow particles was simulated using ANSYS-Fluent, evaluated for DPM concentration and velocity magnitude and compared under different nozzle structures, feed angle and flow rate. Investigation of different cellular lattices’ effects on mechanical properties January-May 2020

• Different lattice structures were additively manufactured and analyzed for their tensile properties. Abaqus simulations were carried out to compare the results with the experimental set-up. Industry 4.0: The Smart Way August - December 2019

• Studied about the key aspects such as Big Data analysis, IoT, Smart and Additive Manufacturing and their incorporation into the present industry to attain the goal of a ‘Smart Factory’. Optimization of Casting Parameters using Taguchi Method August 2017- August 2018

• Prominent casting parameters and their effects on casting defects were identified. Sand testing methods were used to vary the values for each parameter and samples were cast for experimentation. Minitab analysis was conducted to identify the optimal values according to L-9 array. TECHNICAL SKILLS
