Timeline
From DOE-funded graduate research at Michigan Tech to production engineering at Triveni — building depth across simulation, design, and hands-on validation.
Graduate Research Assistant
CFAM Lab, Michigan Technological University · Houghton, MI
research May 2025 – Jul 2025
- ▸ Analyzed fluid-structure interaction of materials under vibration excitation at resonant frequencies using 3D Particle Tracking Velocimetry for the DOE-funded CFAM program
- ▸ Led calibration of LaVision DAQ to ~50 µm positional uncertainty; captured flow fields at >500 fps with 25% improved particle detection
- ▸ Validated numerical predictions within 7–10% error against ANSYS Fluent DPM and MATLAB FVM analysis

Design Engineer
Triveni Engineering & Industries Ltd. · Mysore, India
industry Jul 2022 – Jan 2024
- ▸ Owned mechanical design from concept through manufacturing release — 3D CAD, GD&T, FEA, CFD, DFMEA, and PLM-controlled release; reduced design failure probability by 35% and cut engineering cycle time by 50%
- ▸ Managed drawing control and revision via SAP across departments; created template kits saving 15% time on successive pump and turbomachinery projects
- ▸ Coordinated cross-functional modifications to bulkheads and pressure hulls; designed purpose-built test rigs for gearboxes and centrifugal pumps
