Experience

May 2018 - Aug 2018

MECHANICAL ENGINEER - INTERN

Bellman-Melcor Inc

7575 W 183rd St,

Tinley Park, IL

  • Drafted a 2D model of the existing Industrial ovens used for hardening the channel flux.

  • Analyzed the heat distribution inside the oven using ANSYS Workbench and suggested design changes for a much more uniform heat distribution inside the oven. These design changes would increase product quality by 25%.

  • Created a Bill-of-Materials (BOM) for all the thermal ovens for future reference.

  • Formulated a 2D (AutoCAD) and 3D (SolidWorks) model of every component of the thermal oven.

  • Proposed ergonomic design changes to improve human-machine interaction and elucidate minor tasks.

Sep 2018 -  Mar 2020

RESEARCH ASSISTANT

University of Illinois at Chicago

1200 W Harrison St,

Chicago, IL

  • Analyzed and investigated the effect of 3 unique additives on ice-adhesion as a part of the MS Thesis.

  • Designed an ice adhesion test setup to compute the ice adhesion strength of 6 unique materials.

  • Devised and assembled a custom environmental chamber to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the test equipment.

  • Formulated a 3D model (Siemens NX) of the setup to derive valuable insights into the experimental parameters.

  • Discovered the effects of 3 unique additives and their concentrations on the ice adhesion strength.

  • Achieved a 100% reduction in the ice adhesion strength of familiar materials [from ≈1000kPa to ≈1kPa] by employing higher additive concentrations.

  • Established a unique failure mechanism for contaminated ice.

Dec 2016 -  May 2017

PROJECT TRAINEE

Bhabha Atomic Research Center (B.A.R.C)

Mumbai, Maharashtra,

India

  • Developed a simulation of creep and high-temperature deformation behavior of fuel-clad nuclear reactor tubes (Zirconium alloy) under a postulated loss of coolant accidental conditions for a Pressurized Heavy Water (CANDU) Reactor (PHWR).

  • Drafted a 3D model (Autodesk Inventor) of the fuel-clad reactor tubes to simulate its behavior inside the pressure core of a PHWR.

  • Analyzed high-temperature deformation behavior of fuel-clad tubes in the alpha phase for different pressure conditions using ANSYS Fluid and ANSYS Mechanical APDL.

  • Conducted a 3-step analysis to formulate a suitable material constitutive model for creep behavior.

  • Verified the formulated model using existing experimental data and derived the burst times for a range of temperatures (600 C to 1000 C) and internal pressures (3 bar to 60 bar).

Apr 2018 -  May 2020

GRADUATE ASSISTANT

University of Illinois at Chicago

Chicago, IL

  • Implemented root cause analysis for decontamination surveys at UI Health and enforced process changes to save $6000 every month.

  • Designed, administered, and executed radiation contamination surveys for UI Health and 70+ labs across the UIC campus.

  • Managed and conducted the calibration of 100+ Geiger Counters and Ionization chambers.

  • Spearheaded the packaging department as radioactive packages were received, inspected, processed, and delivered to their destinations across the UIC campus.

  • Directed, coordinated, and organized the radioactive material inventory, waste inventory, and waste disposal for 70+ labs across UIC.
