SKILLS:
Computing & IT
• Competent user of Microsoft Office: Word, Excel, PowerPoint, MS Project.
• Working knowledge and practical experience of Ansys, including FEA stress analysis, heat transfer analysis)
• MatLab, Catia,
• AutoCAD (scalable components) and Solidworks.
• Material Science: materials selection and characterisation, composite manufacturing processes.
Engineering Design
• Designing a range of engineering components and structures, using design and test software such as Ansys to model static and dynamic loading and in-service stresses, reduce the risk of failure and minimise waste.
• Working knowledge of causes and types of failure, familiar with investigating failures through inspection and using optical and electron microscopy
Familiar with the engineering properties and applications of a range of materials for example ceramics, polymers, semiconductors, surface coatings, thin films, biomaterials and advanced composites
Engineering Business and Quality Management
• Working knowledge of quality management tools such as Lean, 6 Sigma and Kaizen
• Familiar with business optimisation tools such as value stream analysis and supply chain development and management
• Total Quality Management: Quality tools, Quality by Prevention, World Class Manufacturing systems, Quality Function Deployment, Lean manufacturing, Concepts, ISO systems, Six-Sigma tools, FMEA.
Leadership and Teamwork
• As a captain of university and school cricket teams, I have learned to boost colleagues commitment to the team’s goals and performance, boosting the confidence of colleagues in challenging situations
• Familiar with adapting to different team cultures, for example in Indian and UK cricket leagues
• As MSc student course representative, I listen to colleagues experience of the programme and negotiate improvements to the degree programme through annual programme management meetings and discussions with individual academics
Problem solving
• During my under graduation, I was working on my project with a team of three members. Due to some problem, one of the members had to leave the team. I had to take the situation under my control. We re-scheduled our project time line, divided the tasks amongst ourselves, and planned a good strategy to complete our project on time and our hard work paid off.
WORK EXPERIENCE:
September 2010 – till date University of Plymouth (UK)
Working as a volunteer under composite reader Dr. John Summerscales and roles are:
• Helping him in composite lab and doing research in developing new products by using the composite materials.

• Manufacturing of composite products.
January 2010- September 2010 Lapmaster International Ltd (UK)
Worked during the MSc project for prototype designing and manufacturing of a light weight ergonomic flatness gauge and roles were:
• Redesigning of existing flatness gauge of Lapmaster International Ltd.
• To design a flatness gauge to measure up to 1m length.
• To reduce the weight of flatness gauge by 25-35%.
• To reduce the manufacturing costs of gauge to be competitive with the industry mean cost.
• To achieve optimum flatness and surface finish of flat gauge.
• To reduce the inspection requirement.
• To make an adjustable flatness gauge.
• Material selection.
• Testing of material.
May 2008- September 2009 Rath Composites Industries, Nizamabad (India)
Worked during the undergraduate project and after completion of my undergraduate for manufacturing of LPG FRP inner shell and roles were:
