At Airbus, I conducted finite element simulations of composite laminates in Abaqus/Explicit to study progressive damage and failure in aerospace structures. I implemented custom FORTRAN VUMAT subroutines for Puck and LaRC05 criteria and compared damage models against an Open-Hole Tension benchmark.

At the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay, my research internship focused on progressive collapse resistance in reinforced concrete structures, including analysis of RCC and steel buildings using UFC code. I’m now pursuing an M.Tech in Structural Engineering at IIT Bombay and work as a Sr. Design Engineer at Team SHUNYA, IIT Bombay.
