Worked on devising a new parameter— "alpha" which will serve as a new figure-of-merit for co-relating powertrain performance, engine efficiency and range of the vehicle. For this project, I collaborated with a professor from University of Victoria (Victoria, BC, Canada) and a professor from University of Stuttgart (Stuttgart, Germany) for the "Car and.

• Designed a VTOL tail-sitter delta-wing drone for mass surveillance usage in defence, mining surveillance, forest mapping and rescue operations with an infrared-imaging camera and a GPS-enabled ground station
• The designed drone can survey an area of 2 km2 in a singular flight and a single charge
• The wings follow the NACA25112 airfoil standard and the drone has a low speed ULM wingspan of 1300 mm and an industry-leading weight of just 2.8 Kg including all its avionics
