About Me

I am a Master's student in Computational Design and Manufacturing at Carnegie Mellon University, where I’ve deepened my knowledge in Finite Element Methods (FEM), Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), and Vibrations. My projects include developing a custom CFD solver for a thermal battery management system, integrating energy and fluid flow dynamics for efficient heat regulation. Using FEniCS, I have programmed numerical algorithms by hardcoding shape functions, implementing weak forms, and solving the resulting stiffness matrices to simulate complex mechanical systems.

As part of the Computational Engineering and Robotics Lab (CERLAB), I designed thermally optimized bimetallic lattice structures that reduced thermal expansion by 2.5% while retaining 90% mechanical strength. My work focused on high-temperature stability and minimizing deformation under thermal loads. In my vibrations project, I employed modal analysis to detect structural cracks by extracting shifts in natural frequencies and mode shapes and baseline computational modal data for precise anomaly detection.

My design and analysis experience spans diverse domains, from engineering rolling stock prototypes under static and dynamic loading conditions to designing efficient piped irrigation networks. At Integral Coach Factory, I developed rolling stock prototypes optimized for vibrations, impacts, and shocks, performing extensive fatigue testing and strain analysis using ANSYS and HyperMesh. At Larsen & Toubro, I studied sustainable irrigation systems, conducting hydraulic and pump requirement analyses for large-scale infrastructure. I’ve utilized tools like SolidWorks, Creo, AutoCAD and SapceClaim to deliver high-performance designs.

After surviving academia, I'm ready to trade my student ID for a paycheck and swap lukewarm campus coffee for actual corporate caffeine and collaborate with innovative teams who are pushing the boundaries of mechanical engineering!
