Title: Conducting research on internal arc behavior in the high-voltage terminations, developing analytical models & simulations to enhance product design & safety. • Studied models for internal arc simulation in HV systems. • Created model for OHVT internal arc pressure increases. • Ran COMSOL simulations on arc-related electrical to mechanical energy conversion. • Assessed rapid pressure effects on OHVT structure. • Analyzed parameters affecting arc events. • Validated models with actual OHVT arc tests.

• Collaboration in the construction as well as in constructive changes on ongoing projects and research topic with a Product management and Engineering team. • Contributed to completion of projects by designing and modifying 3D CAD models & drawings. • Created and maintained requirement specifications, BOMs, TDC/TL, datasheets, and parts lists, to boosting document accuracy and availability. • PLM compliance system: VPR - PDMlink - DM.TEC - DSD DocLink - EPIS - CPR - SAP - ERP

• Drove mechanical cable lug range expansion, achieving up to a 50% inventory cut and enhancing cost, operational & time efficiencies through pipeline configuration. • Managed design and launch of Coffin box, optimizing installation processes to reduce time by 25%, resulting in increased sales and market share. • Crafted and managed extensive product documentation (production drawings to installation guides) with PDM, PLM & SAP systems to improve accessibility.

Design, Development, and Proto build of Heavy Construction & Material Handling Equipment such as Telehandler, Telescopic Boom, Forklift, and Scissor Lift for USA, Europe, & India-based clients.

Became familiar with different kinds of rollers, including Cylindrical Rollers, Spherical Rollers, Needle Rollers, etc.

Learned the fundamentals of machinery for the fabric processing, including steamers, washing machines, bleaching as well mercerizing machines, and dyeing machines.

Comprehended the Nuclear Power Plant's Mechanical Systems. During the shutdown period, I also acquainted with the steam turbine and diesel generator.

• Ventured into the dynamic domain of Power Engineering, incorporating various engineering disciplines. • Engaged with Ukrainian students as a TUM-Unite buddy, facilitating their journey through university life. • Master Thesis: "Investigation of the internal arc behavior of high-voltage outdoor terminations" • Enriched knowledge in diverse areas, from Energy Systems (Renewable & Non-renewable) and Sustainable Mobility to Entrepreneurship and Product + Project management.

• Earned first rank in my university's first year and maintained a top-five position throughout the course. • Led stimulating discussions in GD sessions and coordinated the BVM Cultural Team. • Contributed to educating underprivileged children near our college through the Bachhpan NGO. • Participated in Udaan 2015 & 2016, making a difference through volunteer work. • Contributed actively to the Indian Engineering Institute (IEI) and ISTE student chapter.
