• Develop LabVIEW codes and create executable files, that are capable of error handling and can run multiple fixtures & collect data from high resolution magnetic encoders continuously for months, to demonstrate.
• Log collected data on MySQL, perform data analysis using Power BI, and generate reports periodically
• Work with hardware, software, and systems engineers to identify reliability issues and provide solutions on the legacy instruments, to decrease unscheduled service visits to the customer sites
• Use Taguchi methods to assess noise & robustness and do root causes analysis to generate P-Diagrams in rdExpert
• Design and set up multiple test-rigs to carry out Design for Reliability (DfR) experiments, and develop LabVIEW codes to acquire data for characterization of the Subsystems- reaction ring, photometer, reagent load and.
• Install high resolution Renishaw Optical Encoders, take runout measurements using dial indicators, measure belt tension & create LabVIEW code to acquire and process data in real time from NI module 9411 and cDAQ 9174

• (Advisor: Dr. Songgang Qiu)
• Designed (in SOLIDWORKS) and manufactured two benchtop test-rigs to find flow loss and heat transfer through test section- regenerators & heater heads of Stirling Engine after in-depth literature review of Stirling.
• Performed ANSYS Mechanical & Fluent simulations to design test-rig parts and visualize fluid flow through them
• Coded, tuned, and controlled a Parker made linear actuator via ACR-View & LabVIEW to generate desired oscillating motion
• Collected data using LabVIEW and Data Acquisition (DAQ) system and analyzed it to find efficiencies of test parts
• Communicated with different companies to select and place orders for the finalized designed partsFunding: ARPA-E

Lake Charles, Louisiana Area

• (Advisors: Dr. Ning Zhang and Dr. Zhuang Li, MSU)
• Designed (in AutoCAD), prepared drawings and implementation timeline, estimated the cost, and presented our proposal for ROV Hard Rock Sampling Tool, as a team member from McNeese to the Judging Panel of OET
• As the winning team, worked with OET to build final design leading to the actual field testing phase- to 4,000 m depth in the Gulf of Mexico in July 2015, launched via ROV on EV Nautilus; Sponsored by CITGO and Bechtel

Lake Charles, Louisiana Area

• (Advisors: Dr. Ning Zhang and LTC Ted Thompson)
• Performed CFD simulations to incorporate the current hydrological restoration structures around the Calcasieu Lake and its surrounding regions
• Explored one of the most effective ways of preventing effects of the storm surge flooding, tidal events, and salt water intrusion around the Calcasieu Lake- i.e., extension of the levee

Lake Charles, Louisiana Area

• (Advisor: Dr. Ning Zhang)
• Reviewed literature to find and incorporate a suitable vegetation model
• Found the effective friction factor of vegetation in the flooded region (wetlands surrounding Calcasieu Lake) using Vegetation Density Model; performed the numerical simulation using Fortran programming language in Linux
• Analyzed data using Tecplot & FieldView; Funded by NSF, Calcasieu Police Jury, & Louisiana Board of Regents
