Alvin Prathap

Conducting research on refrigeration systems, heat-pump technologies, and vibro-acoustic engineering within the MENESA / QUEEN-HP heat-pump research environment at Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE. • Investigated compressor-induced gas pressure pulsations in an R290 vapor-compression refrigeration system relevant to heat-pump applications as part of the Master's thesis Investigation of Gas Pressure Pulsations in a Heat Pump Refrigeration System. • Conducted literature review and technical

• Supported the implementation of solar power systems at commercial and service facilities, contributing to improved energy efficiency and sustainability. • Assisted in integrating sensors and control systems for smart energy monitoring and performance tracking. • Conducted site inspections, energy surveys, and technical assessments to support system evaluation and project execution. • Supported mechanical maintenance, troubleshooting, and preventive maintenance activities alongside senior engineers.

• Contributed to the design and CAD modelling of an off-road all-terrain vehicle (ATV) using SolidWorks in accordance with SAE BAJA specifications, with emphasis on manufacturability and structural performance. • Assisted in the fabrication, assembly, and testing of vehicle components throughout the development cycle. Participated in vehicle testing under simulated off-road conditions, supporting design improvements to enhance durability and performance. • Collaborated with a multidisciplinary student tea
