“Residual stress analysis of shot peened mechanical parts with complex geometries” under the supervision of Dr. Regis Kubler. • Residual stress analysis of shot peened Inconel 718DA by X-ray diffraction. • Study of effect of shot peening on hardness. • Microstructure analysis of shot peened materials by SEM / EBSD. • Material removal simulation by Abaqus.

"Damage tolerance on Aero-structural component" Implementing and evaluating the predictive capacities of tools based on the concepts of linear elastic mechanics of rupture in the case of aero-structure elements subjected to complex loadings (AFGROW, FASTRAN). The main objective is to define & realizing lifetime spectrum comparison with experimental data and develop a code to study this data. MATLAB is employed to develop code and an interface to obtain the data.

"Finite Element simulations of nanoindentation test on polymers" under supervision of Dr. Olga Smerdova. • Study of mechanical properties of polymer by indentation technique by finite element simulations using Abaqus software v6.11. • Design of 2D axisymmetric Vickers pyramidal indenter penetrating the sample material • Study contact behavior and interaction properties for various material behavior.

Worked as the research assistant in the project, "designa nd Characterization of Open Cell Aluminum Foam Heat Exchangers" under the guidance of Dr. Satish Kailash and Prabha Agarwal. Demonstrated the new technique of fabrication process and tested for the effectiveness of heat exchange. Initially the project was carried out as part of academics during the Bachelor's. Later, continued to work as research assistant.
