Development of the pyFBS toolbox for dynamic substructuring. 1. Collaborated in developing individual features and integrated them to the software pyFBS, using Python. 2. Gained experience in object oriented programming and dynamic substructuring 3. Explored different options for speeding up matrix operation.

''Experimental implementation, modeling and control of a lower arm prosthesis for the Cybathlon Challenge''. The main tasks involved in this thesis work are: 1. Physics based modeling of the prosthesis and the interacting environment in Simulink/MAPLE. 2. Designing a joint impedance based controller using Simulink. 3. Real time Pattern recognition of different grasping intents of the user using EMG signal. 4. Joint parameter estimation using Extended Kalman Filter.

1. Investigated the effect of intermetallics on the strength of the ball bond connection in a power electronic chip when subjected to a thermal gradient, using ABAQUS. 2. Explored different mathematical methods for modeling adhesion in power electronic chips and implemented the XFEM (Extended FEM) in ABAQUS.

Finite Element Analysis of different ''physics of failure'' phenomenon of power electronic packages for reliability estimation. 1. Investigated the mechanical robustness of an accelerometer by executing a drop test in LS-DYNA. 2. Analysed the effect of the number of screws on the mechanical strength of the connection of two copper plates, using finite element simulation.

1. I was responsible for the research and designing of the MCCB feeders for the LV switchboard. 2. My main task was to carry out various structural and thermal analysis on the new designs using ANSYS software. 3.I was also responsible for carrying out various tests (such as temperature rise tests, IP tests, short circuit test etc.) on the switchboards.
