QUALIFICATIONS

Technical Skills: MATLAB, ANSYS Fluent, AutoCAD, Revit, SolidWorks, HSMworks, CREO, Procore, Java Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, MS Project)

PROJECTS

Optimized a Nuclear Fuel Rod Design

Achieved an optimal shape for the cross section of a fuel rod that produced maximum power output but would not allow the maximum temperature of the rod to exceed 1000 C within the given parameters and restraints

MATLAB coding assured an efficient procedure to obtain accurate calculations and results

Fitness Database

Developed with MySQL to store personal information about a trainer, their customer, and their desired fitness program with logging capabilities.

Numerical Analysis of Heat Conduction using Finite Difference Method

ANSYS Fluent and MATLAB presented the theoretical and graphical temperature distribution across a 2D plate

Using different grid spacing and nodal method, equations were determined using energy balance concept, organized with matrices and results were compared

Modeled and Analyzed Properties of a Fluid over a Pipe

Performed CFD analysis with ANSYS Fluent to create a flow model for a fluid flowing over a cylindrical pipe

Analyzed the resulting pressure and velocity profile graphs for the fluid for a specific Reynold Number.

Coin Cell for Cutting Edge Battery Research, Senior Design

Focused on extremely precise height adjustment of the cell in the X-ray diffraction machine and ensured that the angle of incidence is above 10 degrees to meet sponsor’s requirements

The components of the coin cell were 3D printed and manufactured; then tested as per sponsor’s standards to ensure no failures and proper cycling of the final product.

Manufactured a Hand Crank Saw, Manufacturing Processes

Used SolidWorks and HSMworks to model components of the hand saw mechanism such as, circular saw blade, gears, gear holders, and shafts using G-code with CNC machine for mechanism assembly.

Finite Element Analysis on a Bicycle Wrench

Modelled a wrench in SolidWorks using via sketching and spline techniques

Performed mesh and force analysis using finite element method

Applied failure theory and simulation data to suggest an improved wrench design
