Advait Sivakumar Email & Phone Number

Highly interested in Aviation and everything related to it since I was a child. My hobbies include photography and tourism, which normally go hand-in-hand :-)Since I joined IIT Bombay, I have been part of Team Rakshak, a student-run Technical Team dedicated to developing Fixed-Wing UAVs and Multicopter Drones for Search & Rescue missions. I recently travelled to Aachen, Germany to represent Team Rakshak and IIT Bombay at the Air Cargo Challenge 2024, hosted by the Aachen Drone Development Initiative. Through my work at Rakshak, I have honed my skills in CAD and converting models we see in CAD to actual prototypes, be it in any suitable material for a plane. This has also increased my interest in Computational Fluid Dynamics, the science behind why planes fly like they do, and how to numerically improve their performance through careful analysis.
