1.) Project Title: Computational Modeling of CryoBalloon-Ablation (CBA) for Pulmonary Vein Isolation. Developed a 3D patient-specific computational framework using stabilized FEM in FEniCS to simulate CBA. a.) The CFD code is benchmarked and used to analyze hemodynamics and temperature for lesion formation in the Left Atrium during CBA surgery. b.) Investigated the effect of cryoballoon position, pulmonary vein blood flow velocity and mitral regurgitation on CBA and lesion formation.2.) Project Title: Computational modeling of Fluid-Structure Interactions (FSI) for cardiovascular and biophysical flows.Developed an accurate & robust FSI framework using DLM/FD method in FEniCS using MPI, that can simulate the hemodynamics and heat transfer in biological flows. The finite element code is benchmarked and used to simulate flow in an active cardiac chamber. The framework is used to study cardiovascular diseases.

1.) Project Title: Dual-Grid Dual-Level Set based cut cell Immersed Boundary method.Developed a novel multiphase flow algorithm using the cut cell based Finite Volume Method. The CFD code is benchmarked and its accuracy and computational cost are tested using a dam break simulation. 2.) Project Title: Single bubble dynamics in corrugated channels.Studied bubble shapes/regimes for wavy channels using the Finite Volume and Finite Difference Method. Also investigated the influence of channel wall amplitude on trajectory, breakup, bubble rise velocity and drag.

Served as a lead engineer of Team Stallions which designs and fabricates an in-house All-terrain vehicle.1.) I was the head of the wheel assembly design and braking team. I designed and supervised the manufacturing of indigenous aluminum components - wheel bearing, knuckles and brake disc.2.) Focused on ensuring safe design and reducing overall weight of the wheel assembly using ANSYS FEA and Altair Inspire.3.) Designed, built and tested the braking system, to reduce stopping distance and driver fatigue.The team won 2nd price in Sledge Pull and Go green event at BAJA SAE INDIA 2017 and 2nd prize in Acceleration event at BAJA SAE INDIA 2015.
