1. Assistance in a project on sound source in automotive air-conditioning systems. 1. Analysis of the scripts for the thermo-physical properties of fluids in the open source CFD software OpenFOAM. 2. Implementation of state equation of the refrigerant R134a in OpenFOAM.

I was an assistant in the project "Modeling of Spray / Acoustic Interactions with Lagrangian and Polydisperse Euler-Euler Approaches", being carried out at Professur für Thermofluiddynamik, TUM. My work pertained to customization and modification of submodels of Euler-Lagrangian solvers of the open source Computational Fluid Dynamics software OpenFOAM.

My work was to develop a model for simulating the non-Newtonian flow of slag (fused ash), using the commercial CFD software ANSYS Fluent. The work was carried out at the Institute for Energy Systems, TUM, and was a part of the project "HotVeGas". The model has been successfully developed and is now being implemented in the institute.

My work was on analysis of the various viscosity models of fuel ash slags available in literature and comparison of these models with experimental results. The work was carried out at the Institute for Energy Systems, TUM.

My position at Alstom India Ltd was that of a quality control engineer. During my tenure I inspected accessories and parts of a steam boiler before they were dispatched to the construction site, and ensured that they strictly met the design requirements. As a certified Lead Auditor, I conducted internal audits in my organization and ensured that all the activities were in conformance with the work instructions.
