Kharagpur, West Bengal, India

• Nominated for the Best BTP award for bachelor’s thesis titled, “Thermo-Mechanical Modeling of Multi-track Laser Cladding”• Aimed at modeling effects of powder deposition strategies on warping that occur during laser metal deposition process• Proposed a 2D model to predict the heat-affected zone & residual stresses at the clad-substrate interface for 1st clad layer

Kharagpur, West Bengal, India

• Contributed to the Mechanical vertical of the team and secured 2nd position at the IGVC competition amongst various international teams.• Conducted computer-aided modelling, simulation of the autonomous robot vehicle chassis on Solidworks and its structural analysis on ANSYS software.• The aim was to reduce the mechanical vibrations induced in the chassis during its driverless run that had caused the failure of the previous vehicle chassis. • Initiated research in the field of actuation aimed at integrating a zero-radius turn feature to allow easy maneuverability of an autonomous vehicle.

Pune, Maharashtra, India

• Manufacturing and Production Department: + Contributed to the automated inspection system by implementing image processing during job assembly to significantly reduce part rejection percentage. + Acquired knowledge on PFMEA (Process Failure Mode and Effect Analysis) to carry out its inspection considering all its aspects on the assembly line.• Quality Engineering Department: + Conducted lever break test, spring force test and worked on CMM (Coordinate Measuring Machine) to inspect the dimensional accuracy of the job. + Analysed the tolerance values of the parts, identified inefficiencies and suggested corrective action before approving the part for the production line. + Looked into the technical specifications of engineering procedure regarding drawing standards, dimensioning and tolerancing during New Product Design.• Supply Chain Management Department: + Carried out careful inspection of PPAP (Production Part Approval Process) to generate Bill of Material for a product to maximise production effectiveness. + Coordinated with the CSR Department on processing orders, handling customer complaints and ensuring on-time delivery (OTD) to the customers.

Mumbai, Maharashtra, India

• Team AGV is one of the 13 teams selected for the finals of the Mahindra Rise Prize Challenge.• An electric vehicle namely a Mahindra E2O has been provided to our research group, pending automation.• Contributed towards mechanical design and manufacture of various sensor mounts on the vehicle.
