RELEVANT EXPERIENCE
Graduate Research Assistant September 2015 – Present
(Vibratory finishing of metals, Masters Thesis, UNC Charlotte)
• Experimentally investigating vibratory finishing of aluminum 6061 T6 grade rectangular plate to gain insights into material
removal and surface modification mechanism.
• Developing a 2D CFD model in Ansys Fluent that matches the experimental conditions and formulating a correlation between
CFD-derived pressure fields, velocity fields, and experimentally observed changes in surface topography.
• Applying numerical techniques in Matlab to determine workpiece material removal profiles and surface finishes.
Graduate Teaching Assistant Spring 2017
(Statistics Process Control and Metrology, UNC Charlotte)
• Supervised a measuring exercise and taught 43 undergraduate students calibration method for Vernier micrometer and dial
caliper and demonstrated repeatability and reproducibility using these gages.
Undergraduate Intern December 2012 – January 2013
(Tool Room Operations, Siemens Ltd., India)
• Designed 2D CAD model of a case-study using AutoCAD software package.
• Acquired hands-on experience on CNC milling, grinding, and fabricated mechanical components using these processes under
the supervision of machine operators.
ACADEMIC PROJECTS
Surface Metrology of vibratory finished parts Fall 2016
(Term Project for Advanced Surface Metrology Course, UNC Charlotte)
• Implemented tactile (profilometry) and optical (scanning white light interferometry) surface measurement techniques to
quantify material removal profiles and surface finishes of parts finished with vibratory finishing.
Designing a tip/tilt stage capable of nanometer level adjustments Spring 2016
(Team project for Precision Machine Design Course, UNC Charlotte)
• Designed a precision machining stage that worked on a system of ramps and screws that converted large angular rotations into
millimeter range linear displacements and was capable of 1.5 degrees of tip/tilt, 2.5 millimeters of coarse travel on slideways.
An integrated Poisson’s ratio drive system provided nanometer scale resolution on the slideways.
• Created the CAD model of the stage in SolidWorks.
Mathematical Modelling of SDOF free vibrating system with Coulomb damping Fall 2015
(Team Project for Vibration of Discrete and Continuous Systems Course, UNC Charlotte)
• Developed a mathematical model in the form of a second order differential equation in Matlab for SDOF free vibrating system
with Coulomb damping and adopted Euler integration to solve this equation. Graphical plot of initial displacement against final
displacement provided insights into effect of friction on final position.
Design and fabrication of an electrical relay calibration fixture June 2013 – March 2014
(Senior Design Project, Siemens Ltd., India)
• Worked with the design team in Siemens to minimize the calibration time of an existing thermal overload relay calibration
fixture and created the improvised CAD model of the fixture using AutoCAD software package. Conventional machining
operations were implemented to fabricate the redesigned fixture.
Fabricated parts of nitro engine remote controlled off-road race car January 2013
• Fabricated chassis, A-arms, and shock towers of a RC car according to design regulations for a technical racing event.
