● Conducted low-impact crash tests under R-CAR regulation on 2 passive safety projects, optimized Crash Management System by designing 10 new long member prototypes, improving axial path compliance by 15%.● Executed Finite Element Analysis (FEA) for low-impact crash tests using ANSA, Pamcrash, and Meta.● Analyzed NVH characteristics of automobiles, improving modal response of chassis, doors, and tailgate using Nastran, and worked on Chassis, Body-in-White (BIW), and Exterior Trims, ensuring optimal design and performance.● Enhanced Engine Mount design by developing 10 new prototypes, increasing bushing stiffness by 30% to meet NVHtargets.● Involved in homologation work under R-CAR regulations, ensuring that vehicles meet all necessary safety standards.

● Undertook a research-based project, titled ‘Structural Analysis of WCTE Support Structure and Tank Using Finite ElementSoftware’, where the Water Cherenkov Test Experiment (WCTE) as a part of the Hyper-Kamiokande experiment, aimed topredict the source of cosmic rays by detecting high-powered neutrinos.● Executed Static Structural, Modal, Buckling, and Dynamic analysis by importing the CAD in Hypermesh, performingmeshing activities, and applying the boundary conditions and loads using CAE tools Hypermesh, Optistruct Solver andANSYS for various alternative designs of the WCTE structure.● Carried out the lifting analysis to understand the behavior of the structure and to keep the stresses generated within the limitto make it safe during lifting and transportation.● Checked the obtained results for the safety of the WCTE structure as per Euro code 3.

● Designed, manufactured and physically implemented the Engine Mount, Intake and Exhaust using manufacturing processes like CNC and Laser Cutting for our Formula Student Car.● Conducted the topology optimization on the engine mount using the CAE tool Ansys and obtained about 15% weight reduction.

● Mentored and led a team of 6 interning students to create component drawings and CAD models for Extra Long Elbow assemblies.● Worked on the conversion of around 50 2D drawings to 3D CAD models for these assemblies using AutoCAD and SolidWorks.● Created and drafted power valve assemblies for Instrumentation Valves, High-Pressure Needle Valves, and Gas Valves using SolidWorks.
