Specialist in composite materials testing and characterization.

As a master thesis student, I conducted research on Energy and strength-based criteria for intralaminar crack growth in regions with high stress gradients under Prof. Janis Varna and Prof. Patrik Fernberg. I performed numerical modelling using ANSYS MAPDL for stress analysis and strain energy release rate studies in severely loaded GFEP composite plies. This study was conducted at Luleå University of Technology under the Division of Materials Science.The thesis report has been published… Show more As a master thesis student, I conducted research on Energy and strength-based criteria for intralaminar crack growth in regions with high stress gradients under Prof. Janis Varna and Prof. Patrik Fernberg.

This was a two-month Research Internship under SURGE Program. I worked on Interdiffusion in Nb-Al Binary System under guidance of Asso. Prof. Dr. Kaustubh Kulkarni. During the internship, I prepared an alloy using vacuum arc remelting furnace, made a solid-solid diffusion couples with alloys of different compositions, and conducted diffusion annealing experiments.

In this internship, I worked on modelling of campaign life of a blast furnace with empirical approach as well as numerical approach using ANSYS Fluent under guidance of Asst. Prof. Dr. Sabita Sarkar. As my first experience in research, this internship also included training in research methodology, literature review and LaTeX scientific documentation.
