Work on the project of Design and Development of an Electric Ducted Fan For a small UAV. Proposed a theoretical design by performing analytical calculations for 120mm EDF having 19N thrust. Numerically investigated the proposed design by using integrated advanced tools with CFD. Performed Design of Experiment (DOE) Study to optimize Blade parameters creating 180 geometries. 3D printed the model for experimentation and integrated it with a test stand, developed for thrust testing.

Created and presented 3D models to accurately demonstrate design concepts, layout, and scale. Conducted computational fluid dynamic (CFD) analysis to structure safety problems related to wind. Collaborated with commercial clients to provide different frame designs for different purposes. Combine designing techniques, such as adding bend beams and vertical columns for strength. Supervised employees, including engineers, consultants, and subcontractors

Specialization in computational Applied Mechanics Coursework included topics such as computational linear algebra, computing for CSE, applied aerodynamics, computational fluid dynamics, and boundary layer theory. Thesis on the design of electric ducted fans using CFD simulation and Optimization tool. Experimentation was done for thrust testing.

Strong skills in Machine design, CAD using SolidWorks, CFD, and FEA simulations. Completed a thesis on CFD analysis of Archimedes wind turbines, including fabrication of a model for experimentation purposes.
