Graduate Assistant grader, University at Buffalo Feb 2018-Dec 2018
• Prepared assignments, quizzes for Sustainable Manufacturing, Advanced Manufacturing techniques.
• Graded Assignments, MATLAB Codes, and Exams for the course of Flight Dynamics for a class of 91 students.
Assistant Automation Engineer, Virani Industries, India Dec 2015- Dec 2016
• Designed and simulated an automation equipment and process by making use of PLC Ladder Logic Builder.
• Reduced the gear-manufacturing cycle duration to 40% by installing the tested automation system in plant.
• Programmed four types of CNC machines, assembly line and managed material handling of automated system.
• Controlled the operation process of automated machinery to obtain consistent results as output.
• Documentation of the process outcomes and efficiency, weekly to senior Manager, using Latex and MS Excel.
Project Engineer Co-op, Dint Tech Control Pvt. Ltd., India July 2015- Dec 2015
• Performed analysis based on properties of materials and thermal-expansion processes during the operation.
• Increased free air delivery, hence the efficiency of the product by 9% using Advanced Manufacturing techniques.
• Increased the company’s sales margin by 5% with an improved SOLIDWORKS design for the machine parts.
• Reduced time of manufacturing using optimization of automation and manufacturing operations.
ENGINEERING PROJECTS
Non-Linear Dynamics, Analysis and Control of Mobile Robot Manipulator
• Derived motion equations for non-holonomic mobile robot manipulator and performed analysis-using simulation.
• Designed and developed a non-linear controller using feedback linearization and zero dynamics technique.
• Obtained higher stability in each dynamic states within time interval of 5 seconds.
Optimal Control of Artificial Kidney System
• Improved the LQR method for controlling flow rates in artificial kidney during process of hemodialysis.
• Performed Simulation in MATLAB for each states based on developed method and parameters.
Multi-Stage Network Optimization and Resiliency Enhancement
• Expanded the network optimization, multi stage patterns and resiliency in networks for home automation system.
• Obtained resulting networks with increased resiliency by around 39% than default networks.
Self-Navigating Swarm Micro Bots, Swarm Robotics, Heuristic approach
• Developed an algorithm that uses the capability of micro robots to search, converge and detect any gas/fluid leakage inside buildings and labs.
• Achieved a 90% of success rate of convergence after simulations based upon different conditions.
Pneumatic can crusher with automated system
• Developed a 13% more efficient CAD model of ‘Aluminum can’ Crusher machine based on pneumatic principle.
• Implemented the design for manufacturing of device having the capability of proximity-metal sensing.
