PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

Associate Consultant, Engineering Services, ITC Infotech Ltd, India. July 2007 – June 2008

•Analyzed and designed mechanical equipment used on oil rigs

•Converted 2D AutoCAD drawings into 3D models using Pro-E for design data standardization

•Prepared operation and safety manuals

RESEARCH EXPERIENCE/PROJECTS

Master’s Thesis: Estimates for the Pressure and Thermal Distortions of Coating Dies for use in Design and Simulation

•Performed 2D deflection analysis of a coating die due to liquid pressure loading using beam theory and compared it with the FEA results to check for consistency in data

•Estimated the sensitivity of die design to temperature differences within the coating die

•Modeled the coating die in 3D using Pro-E and performed FEA to determine the deflections under pressure loading

•Prepared a simulation program in MS Excel by coupling the die distortion model with the flow model

•Developed design guidelines based on the optimization routine performed on the coupled data analysis

Optimization of Polymer Electrolyte Membrane (PEM) fuel cell

•Generated a governing equation that described the water flow in a PEM fuel cell

•Wrote MATLAB code to carry out optimization routine for maximum power output

•Estimated parameters such as inlet air velocity, number of channels within the cell, height and width of the channels and the amount of water produced for maximum power output for given configuration

Fabrication and Testing of Mechanical Behavior of Micro-Electro-Mechanical Structures (MEMS)

•Fabricated simple mechanical thin film structures subjected to different stress levels on a silicon wafer by means of processes such as plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition, photo resist processing, optical lithography and plasma etching

•Estimated the stress induced in the structures using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) for comparison with the stress data obtained from P2 Tencor which uses bulk properties of materials

Development of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Aluminum Metal Matrix Composites for Electrical Applications

•Developed aluminum composites having different percentages of carbon reinforcement using die casting technique

•Determined the electrical properties of the composites for comparison with that of pure aluminum
