ACADEMIC PROJECTS •

• Effect of ceramic coatings on engine efficiency: Masters Thesis research project under Dr Ahmed Soliman. Analysis is done to test the engine efficiency without ceramic coatings and with ceramic coatings. Better engine efficiency and higher thermal efficiency, with ceramic coatings on engine exhaust manifolds.

• Study of Nanoscale Heat transfer phenomena: Carried out a review of parts for experimental based setup along with Cost Based Analysis with respect to different companies providing the parts.

• Motion Analysis of Baseball Pitching: On field Pressure sensor testing along with simulation of baseball pitchers in motion lab using Vicon Nexus for recognizing and predicting efficiency. Reporting the results on MS Excel using graphical content for each player with their statistics.
