Designed a Fixed Mixing Unit (FMU) for the DMDE, performed analytical calculations, FEA, mechanical design (ASME BPVC Sec VIII, ASME 16.5) and structural integrity evaluation. Performed ANSYS transient structural and harmonic response analyses for the FMU to evaluate structural response and support design verification.

Conducted CFD analysis of flow through a purge-circuit line in a ground-plate umbilical system. Developed MATLAB code for one-dimensional transient heat-transfer analysis, incorporating pressure and temperature drops.

Modelled and simulated pneumatic systems in AMESIM, design review of pneumatically actuated valves. Designed an infinitely adjustable 0-60s pneumatic Time Delay Valve and presented to NPD team.

Investigated the thermal performance of a copper–water heat pipe under off-nominal operating conditions and alternative condenser configurations. Designed and fabricated the experimental setup and compared thermal performance across two configurations.

Simulated internal and external supersonic nozzle flows and validated an axisymmetric nozzle model, reporting approximately 90% agreement with expected results. Investigated three nozzle-flow configurations using ANSYS Fluent and prepared technical reports documenting the methodology and findings.

Certified in CATIA V5 R2020 by modelling a stirling engine of 35 components.

Obtained the National Cadet Corps 'A' certificate during secondary schooling.

Completed an AutoCAD course.

Grade: 7.58/10

B.Tech. in Mechanical Engineering with a CGPA of 7.58/10. Coursework included heat transfer, fluid mechanics, thermal engineering, cryogenics, and supersonic nozzles.
