Work Experience
Mechanical Engineer
04/2020 to Current
Wb Engineering
Glencoe, IL
Designed a dental isolation system, Miniassist, that was more compact when compared to the models available in the market.
Optimized the design of the fluid channel based on the CFD simulations which emulated the working of the isolation system.
Performed a comprehensive product comparison between Miniassist and a competitor's design Dryshield.
Freelance Simulation Expert

Upwork
Glencoe, Illinois
Worked as a freelance designer and simulation expert on Upwork with a job success rate of 100% and avg customer rating of 5/5.
Visualized the transonic fluid flow (0.8M) over an airfoil NACA 6612 at an altitude of 10,000m using a compressible CFD simulation in ANSYS.
Generated a structured mesh for a 3 element airfoil with cross-section NACA 6612 and performed a transonic compressible simulation for
different angles of attack.
Converted a 3D scan of the eye to a CAD model using reverse engineering tools of SolidWorks.

Simulating Vibrations Of A Cantilever Beam:
Predicted the vibrations of a tapered cantilever beam by creating a two-way fluid structure interaction simulation using COMSOL Multiphysics.
Also modeled this cantilever beam using Solidworks and SpaceClaim such that it emulates a rat whisker
Concluded that the vibrations are caused by two phenomena vortex induced vibration and fluid induced elastic vibrations. The behavior of the
beam depends on the flow velocity.

Analysis Of Fluid Flow Over Rat's Head:
Modeled the velocity and pressure contours for the flow over a rat's head for different angles of pitch and yaw by performing a CFD simulation
using ANSYS FLUENT. The rat head was reverse engineered using SpaceClaim
Analyzed the changes in flow pattern with orientation of the head and concluded that the angle of head has almost no impact on sensory ability
of a rat
Validated the results obtained from the simulation by performing a convergence study
Mechanical Engineer
04/2016 to 05/2017
National Aerospace Laboratories
Bangalore , KA
Parallelization Of Nonlinear Heat Transfer Program:
Developed a C++ program that can solve a time-dependent radiation diffusion problem using time integration approach Strang splitting method
Parallelized the C++ program using Message Passing Interface (MPI) and PETSc libraries so it can be used to solve larger problems
Achieved a parallel efficiency of 76% when run on 32 processors
Achieved a 2nd order convergence rate for both timestep and gridsize
