Work Experience
Internship – Biomechanics
The internship was done in collaboration with a Neurosurgeon Dr. Komal Prasad at Narayana Hryudayalaya Hospital.
The goal of the project was to verify and review the Bio-mechanical efforts done in modeling the pathogenesis of Chiari malformation leading to Syringomyelia.
My team and I were able to find a possible systematic method to classify the causes behind patient-specific occurrences of Syringomyelia.
Engineering Analyst
My job was being part of the Offshore Engineering Analysis department for Bombardier Transportation UK division.
I worked on both the structural analysis as well as the weight analysis of the high speed trains being deployed at Edinburgh.
The calculations and validations were done based on European standards EN15663 and EN12663.
Also worked on design changes on the Carbody and assembly drawings of the various systems using CATIA V5.
Work Student and
Master Thesis
As part of my work as a Work Student in the Information Technology and Development department of Mercedes Benz, I worked on a system engineering tool called Solution Space Engineering. Here we looked at parameter ranges required to design a prototype engine mount system using the V-design model technique in system engineering.
For my Master Thesis I moved to the NVH R&D department, where I worked on System Identification of Rubber Mounts using Physics Informed Machine Learning
Internship – Huawei Student Project
The project was a Student project from Huawei that needed was required for R&D development to make SAW resonators. I worked on creating a 2D COM model for SAW resonators. using COMSOL. The PDE module was used to solve the COM equations which is a type of wave equation. The primary aim was to replicate a previously written paper and subsequently understand and develop the technique to solve the math using FEM tools, which was completed using COMSOL.
Internship and Master Thesis
The project explores thee need for sensor data in kinematic prediction of semi automated robotic systems. The project involves the use of ROS in conjunction with LiDAR sensor data and other sensor data streams.
My Projects
JEDI – Joy of Engineering Design and innovation
The work was a series of mini-projects undertaken by me during my bachelors in mechanical engineering.
The project was done in 3 semesters.
- Electro-mechanical Ball shooter using Ultrasonic sensor.
- Remote control plane, built from scratch including the RC control and the Aero-foil structure of the wings.
- Electro-mechanical inverted pendulum, using Control theory and engineering.
PUMA – Personal Urban Mobility Access
PACE forum competition, presented at Toluca, Mexico
The project was aimed to create a small Lightweight, reconfigurable/transportable vehicle that looks at tackling the first mile and last mile connectivity faced by senior citizens. The weight was limited to 25kgs for easy mobility.
Collaboration and Innovation Challenge
PACE forum competition,
presented at Toluca, Mexico
Synthesis of Composite structures for exterior body panels of automobiles using recycled material. Softwares such as Digimat and Solidworks were used in collaboration with multiple universities and companies to give a viable solution.
The work focused on Mechanics of Cellular solids and modeling based on representative volume element-based homogenization technique.
Computational Challenges in Multi-functional Composites
It was my bachelor Thesis under Dr. Rammohan B.
An analytical solution for interfacial shear stress between multilayered composites, under thermally induced stress. Computational modeling of Poisson’s ratio and corresponding shear and normal stress between bonded layers of a composite.
The paper was accepted to be presented in the Tenth International Conference on Engineering Computational Technology ECTX 2018, Barcelona, Spain. (ECTX2018_0334)
Mechanical explanation for Pathogenesis
Internship project at CORI –
PES University
The goal of the project was to verify and review the Bio-mechanical efforts done in modeling the pathogenesis of Chiari malformation leading to Syringomyelia. By taking into account the variables accounting for fluid-structure interaction and fluid pressure interference patterns, we were able to list the shortcomings of other localized methods and propose a wholistic method to account for the pressure abnormalities present in patients.
The Internship was under the guidance of Dr. Suresh Nagesh in association with Narayana Hryudayalaya, Neurosurgeon Dr. Komal Prasad.
Bombardier Transportation – Structural Analysis

Analysis of Static, Fatigue and Modal analysis, using Hypermsh and Optistruct. The meshing of structural elements in the Rail Domain including complete Carbody exterior. Bolt calculation were also conducted using COBRA software. The analysis was conducted based on European engineering standar EN12663.
Bombardier Transportation – Mass Analysis
Project at Quest Global
Mass report creation and Mass analysis using VMASS and M3 tools, based on EN15663. Ballast diagram creation for Static and dynamic weight testing of Cars, based on deficient items and payload calculations. Running rate calculation of different train sets based on customer requirements. Roll over, due to Gales calculation for train set based on Maximum and Minimum permissible limits based on EN14607.
Fluid-structure interaction -preCICE
Master Seminar – Partitioned Fluid structure interaction for Multi-physics application
The seminar was aimed at understanding the Data-mapping methods used in the preCICE coupling library. The mathematical background of consistent and conservative mapping techniques are explored for the nearest-neighbor(NN), nearest-projection(NP) and radial basis function(RBF) data-mapping methods. From the test function analysis we observed the actual variation we have due to data-mapping as compared to the actual function. We also explore the direct impact the data-mapping can have on practical simulations and their interpretation.
Machine Learning in Crowd modelling and Simulation
Master Practical – The implementation of ML algorithms using Java and Python
The practical course consisted of a series of coding tasks using both Java and Python to implement Crowd modeling functions. The mathematical background of the vector fields and their practical implementation for both their back-end and UI interfaces was conducted. They also involved implementation of ML algorithms such as Principal component analysis(PCA), Manifold Embedding and Auto-encoders.
System Identification of Rubber Mounts using Physics Informed Machine Learning
Master Thesis – Done at the Chair of applied mechanics under Prof. Daniel Rixen in collaboration with Mercedes Benz
The thesis was done in the Noise, Vibration and Harshness(NVH) department in the R&D division of Mercedes Benz. I combined traditional curve fitting algorithms with more modern Convolutional Neural Networks(CNN) to give a more optimized Modular element model for different dynamic characteristics of the rubber mounts.
Conveyo Sense
Condition Monitoring for Conveyor Belts
Since traditional conveyor belt maintenance of conveyor belts requires manual inspections according to fixed schedules, which result in undetected faults, unplanned downtimes, loss of productivity and financial risks.
Our project gave an alternative solution by giving real-time monitoring solution with predictive maintenance algorithms for the conveyor belt systems. Our solution was built as a mock start-up with all the business, technical and financial analysis such that it can be presented to investors.
2D COM model for SAW resonators
Internship based on a Student project from Huawei
The internship used COMSOL to recreate the 2D model from one of the previous research papers using PDE module to solve for the Wave equation for the COM equations for the SAW resonators.
