AYUSHMAN LAHKAR
@ayushmanlahkar
Mechanical engineering undergraduate at Hermes Racing who designed FEA-validated suspension components and a CNC plasma-drilling setup.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
At the Materials Processing and Welding Laboratory, IIT Kharagpur, I built a microwave-induced plasma drilling setup and designed a CNC-based electrode positioning platform with ±0.03 mm accuracy. I ran drilling trials on ABS/carbon samples and helped cut the failed-trial rate by 26%.
At Hermes Racing, I lead vehicle dynamics work for the Formula Student car, including suspension and steering design validated with CAD and FEA. I’ve also contributed to vehicle assembly, fabrication, and subsystem testing for the team's SUPRA SAEINDIA program.
