EXPERIENCE:
Mechanical Design/ Drafting Intern
SKF Polyseal Inc., UT. (September, 2011 to December, 2011)
Designed injection mold and ejector mold for manufacturing of nylon based seals.
3-D drafting of the complete manufacturing facility.
EDUCATION:
• M.S. Mechanical Engineering
University of Utah, UT. (Spring, 2012)
Core Competency: Machine and Machine Tool Design, Machining Mechanics, Statics, FEA,
SEM, Robotics
RELATED RESEARCH WORK AND PROJECT
Test set-up design to simulate failure by edge loading in artificial hip prosthesis
and their prospective surrogates. (University of Utah, January, 2010 to Present)
Static test was designed to understand and evaluate the effect of hip joint motion
parameters on its failure rate.
Fixtures were designed with design-to-cost approach.
Measured accuracy of the test set-up assembly is 0.1 millimeter.
Failure of the hip prosthesis was quantified and qualified using SEM and profilometry.
Ongoing work consists of testing of representative simple surrogates and its
validation.
