Creating reduced order models for physical models like a heat pump model and a satellite model. Investigating tools that engage in reduced order modeling. Tools : Julia Language, Ansys OptiSLang, Matlab-Simulink.

Performing CFD analysis for a nozzle used for humidifiers and pest control using Ansys Fluent and then later on optimizing the nozzle using Ansys OptiSLang. Establishing an understanding for heat pumps and engaging in system simulations using Dymola tool creating heat pump models.

Working for MAMBA (Moons and Mars Base Analog) under ZARM wherein my task is to design and simulate the thermal structure of a Photobioreactor which will be used to creation of life on Mars. I am using Ansys for the simulations.

Performing Experiments using Resin Infusion Technology and analysing parameters that effect the Resin. The main parameter being the surface tension and contact angle. Hence comparing different surface tensions of different materials using image processing.

Being a marketing executive my major role was to cater new customers which matched our requirements. I used to address there issues which were related to quality of the steel, and discuss it with the quality department on how to resolve it. My major task was to develop the business and selling high grade steel to automobile vendors all over India.

I worked as a student intern for my bachelors project on Electromagnetic Welding. IPR had the only set up in India for such a high scale welding. My major task was to perform experiments of the welding over copper coils and design the coils using AUTOCAD. Electromagnetic welding is expensive but it comes with many advantages like welding of two dissimilar materials (need not be metal). With this project I gained some knowledge in the electrical sector which strengthened my knowledge.

My role was to assist an engineer on designing a Carbon Fibre structure used in the seats of Automobile using Finite Element Analysis.
