I am currently the president of Milaap (an Indian Student Organization), where my duties have sharpened my leadership and communication skills by which to become a more compassionate collaborative leader and team player. I have also learned to organize disparate tasks in the context of time management.

• Designing Designed and developed mechanical equipment such as a drop tester and an impact tester to measure the energy absorbed by the material after the impact. Utilized problem solving skills to design complex structures and create individual components and assemblies in SolidWorks. • 3D Printing 3D printed multifaceted shapes and geometries using Stereo-Lithography (SLA) and the Direct Laser Projection (DLP) method. Synthesized preceramic polymer resin that was 3D printed and then pyrolyzed to form a ceramic structure. • Thiol-ene and Thiol Acrylate Polymer for Surface CoatingUtilized problem solving skills and designed experiments to develop a tailorable thiol-ene and thiol-acrylate polymer for surface coating application with tailorable mechanical properties.
