I am now working as a Graduate Research Student (PhD) in Dr. Peter Disimile group in the department of Aerospace Engineering & Engineering Mechanics at the University of Cincinnati. I am investigating the flow physics around a 2D infinite circular cylinder for a high-speed incoming flow. in the domain of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). I am using ANSYS a commercial CFD software for my research. I use ANSYS SpaceClaim to model the geometry for the body in question and use ANSYS meshing to generate meshes around the body. then I export those meshes such that I can use them in ANSYS Fluent. Thereafter I use ANSYS Fluent in a standalone version to use that exported mesh for running the simulation. Presently I am running 2D simulations but Fluent runs it as a pseudo-3D one by giving the body a depth of 1. I am a graduate student researcher working on numerical modelling, analysis & investigations.

I have worked under Professor Gui Rong Liu in the department of Aerospace Engineering & Engineering Mechanics (AE&EM) under the College of Engineering & Applied Sciences (CEAS), University of Cincinnati, Uptown West Campus, Cincinnati, Ohio USA. My research domains are Smoothed Finite Element Methods (SFEM), Fracture Mechanics, Fortran and MATLAB coding. I investigated the growth and progression of fracture in random materials using an in-house coupled SFEM and Phase Field based large Fortran codes with ABAQUS a commercial Finite Element Analysis (FEA) software using the computational resources of the Ohio Super Computing (OSC). I used bash programming script files to use the OWENS cluster and with was able to control the memory spaces and the number of cores for using ABAQUS. OSC computational resources are High Performance Computing (HPC) clusters based on Linux.

I had worked in the Heat Power lab under the department of Mechanical Engineering, Jadavpur University. My supervisor was Professor (Dr.) Himadri Chattopadhayy.

FORTRAN and MATLAB coding for my research work.

Developing a 2D CFD code for investigating shock obstacle interactions and boundary layer separations in high speed compressible flow domains using a coupled WENO 5 and IBM. WENO is the acronym for Weighted Essentially Non Oscillatory scheme and IBM is Immersed Boundary Method. I am using a fifth (5th) order WENO scheme in my research. I am developing it using a FORTRAN 95 compiler.

To look after the FYP students of the Department of Mechanical and Precision Engineering (MPE) working in the domain of CFD.

I worked in the department of Mechanical Engineering under Dr. Amit Karmakar as a Graduate Research Student in his group. I investigated multiple delaminations in sandwiched composite laminates under low velocity (<100m/s) oblique impact. A paper was published in the 12th edition of the International Conference on Mechanical Engineering (ICME) held at the Bangladesh University of Engineering & Technology (BUET) in 2014 based on this work.

Design of various types of industrial fan blades, their cabinates and their manufacturing. Then performing mechanical properties test on the said fan blades. Also had to oversee the blade manufacturing process, to watch for any flaw in the process. Incorporated lean and flexible manufacturing techniques in the shop floor, with an eye on optimising in-house capabilities encompassing machines and the work force in particular.

I attended the Haldia institute of Technology for my Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech) degree program in the department of Mechanical Engineering & Production Engineering. It was an 8-semester based program paced in 4 years. I did two Final year Projects (FYP) in the department working under Dr. Asis Giri and Dr. Dipankar Chatterjee.

I worked at the Usha Telehoist Limited (UTL), Kolkata which is a leading OEM supplier of hydraulic cylinders to Caterpillar, L&T, Ashok Leyland and TATA motors. I studied the ongoing implementation of Lean Manufacturing Technique in the entire shop floor of that company. I studied the ongoing process and made some important suggestions which were implemented a year later.

I worked in the Mejia Thermal Power Station (MTPS) for Summer 2006 in the boiler division. MTPS has the highest efficiency among the power plants in Eastern India. I learnt about the various types of boilers used in power generation and their various advantages and bottlenecks. I also saw the long-term maintenance schedule for various units like for the next 10 years. Almost at the end of my training period I submitted a report to the training in charge of the power plant and to my department also. I was able to understand the difference between academic knowhow and industrial applications which was very enriching.
