- Transitioning FSI simulation models from idealised geometries to real imported industrial CAD geometries in COMSOL Multiphysics 6.4, resolving mesh embedding and surface intersection challenges that caused non-physical simulation responses, directly improving model accuracy and experimental correlation. - Implementing point-load boundary excitation on curved keg dome surfaces to replicate real-world piezoelectric tap-testing conditions - replacing a flat-surface boundary load approach that produced quasi

- Developed Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) simulations of DIN-standard 30L and 50L industrial kegs in COMSOL Multiphysics 6.4, coupling Solid Mechanics, Pressure Acoustics and Acoustic-Structure boundary conditions to model non-invasive fill level detection using piezoelectric sensors. - Conducted frequency response analysis across 100 discrete frequency points (10–1000 Hz, 10 Hz steps) for 3 fluid fill levels across 2 keg geometries, generating structural vibration data to identify fill-level-dependent

- Developed a Python-based Random Forest predictive model trained on 12 months of historical sensor and weather data, improving solar energy output forecast accuracy by 18% and enabling data-driven maintenance decisions. - Diagnosed 15+ plant operational anomalies per month by building real-time SQL and KNIME data pipelines across live sensor streams, enabling faster fault identification and reducing unplanned downtime. - Automated data-cleaning workflows and consolidated KPI reporting from 3 operational

- Studied the architecture of High-Voltage Traction Systems and auxiliary power distribution networks supporting continuous metro rail operations across the Bangalore Metro network. - Gained hands-on exposure to Signalling, Telecommunication, and SCADA protocols used for automated train control and real-time fault detection across one of India's largest urban metro rail systems. - Analysed operational workflows and electrical infrastructure, developing a practical understanding of large-scale power distri
