I’m currently deep in the trenches of a Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering and Applied Mechanics (MEAM) at the University of Pennsylvania, where I attempt to keep up with coursework while daydreaming about building the next Iron Man suit. I managed to graduate first in my class with a B.Tech degree from NIT Rourkela, which really means I spent a lot of time cramming and drinking an unhealthy amount of coffee.I also dabbled in the startup world, where I founded a company dedicated to structural optimization through machine learning. Basically, I taught computers to play a very nerdy version of Tetris with building materials. During my stint as a Data Analyst Intern at Carrier Global, I developed data visualization tools that made solar power plants run so efficiently that they almost started producing sunshine themselves.My research projects? Oh, they’re the kind that would make a Marvel scientist nod in approval. I’ve worked on drone design and fish-descaler systems – because who doesn’t love drones and smooth-scaled fish? I’ve even published papers on these in prestigious journals. They’re bedtime reading material for anyone suffering from insomnia.I’m all about integrating automation, AI, and machine learning into engineering solutions. If there’s a way to make machines do the work while I take a nap, I’m on it. My ultimate goal is to tackle the kind of engineering problems that make people go, “Whoa, that’s some Tony Stark-level stuff right there!” and contribute to advancements in mechanical and aerospace industries, all while maintaining my sense of humor. Because let’s face it, if you’re not laughing, you’re probably crying over your latest simulation that just crashed.
