Message

At E-Mobility & Renewable Energy Solutions, I support onshore and offshore wind turbine work, including defect investigations, tower design and analysis, and full-scale blade testing. I also assist with wind farm site selection through turbine-load studies and interpretation.

At Suzlon Energy Ltd, I commissioned a full-scale wind turbine blade testing facility and worked on blade evaluation and testing. Earlier, I contributed to air-armament design verification and certification at DRDO, RCMA, and aircraft structure design and analysis at HAL.
