• Worked on cutting edge Gas Turbine Technology as a Design Engineer• Ensured the safety and performance of different design configurations using thermos-mechanical analysis • Streamlined the heat transfer analysis process by integrating tools

• Enrolled in Edison Engineering Development Program (EEDP) and completed 35 Advanced Engineering Course as part of EEDP.• Completed Lean Six Sigma training• Estimated creep life for existing steam turbine rotors of GE’ different fleets using Design for Six Sigma tools. Created a servicing schedule based on remaining life.• Identified the reason for failure of some steam turbine seals in field and pointed out some probable units with higher risk of failure for inspection and service• Analyzed different rotor architecture concepts to minimize stall margin of axial compressor
