EDUCATION: University at Buffalo, the State University of New York February 2015 Masters of Science in Mechanical Engineering GPA: 3.70/4.0 University of Mumbai, India July 2012 Bachelor of Engineering in Mechanical Engineering First Class with Distinction TECHNICAL SKILLS: Software: AutoCAD 2D & 3D, Creo Parametric 2.0, Solid Works, ANSYS Fluent, ANSYS, Hyper works, Gambit, MATLAB, ProE, Rhino, Inventor. Computer skills: CNC Programming, PLC, C++, Java, Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, access, Outlook) PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE: Godrej & Boyce Mfg. Co Ltd, Mumbai, India - Design Engineer July 2012 – July 2013 Material Handling Division in the design of Heavy Diesel forklifts (Capacity of 5 Tons to 32 Tons).

Designed & developed new products & prototypes along with a team of experienced design engineers, to be introduced in the market for example 32 Ton Diesel Forklift.

Used various 3D CAD and FEA analysis softwares to design products and validate them to ensure performance standards.

Developed exhaust and air intake system for the medium diesel forklifts.

Analyzed & improved the forklift chassis as well as handled selection of engines, transmission, axle, hydraulics and uprights for the specific application.

Created and released necessary engineering data for production, manufacturing and service departments including engineer drawings, assembly drawings, BOMs and ECNs and updating the ERP system.

Researched and designed novel models of specific parts wherever essential, especially in the production of ‘Empty container handler’.

Supervised the manufacturing of the designed parts and their assembly thus obtaining sound knowledge of the manufacturing processes and labor handling.

Interacted with clients and customers to know the exact requirement of the design and accordingly plan the design process.

EDUCATIONAL PROJECTS: Design of an innovative 3D printer May 2014

Designed a conceptual innovative 3D printer which was a Multi-material, multi-color, multi nozzle printer.

Capable of 3D printing fine features using various conventional FDM materials with great accuracy.

Printer design used most of the commercially available parts in the market producing high performance at low cost. It was prototyped and can be manufactured.

Design and analysis of car badge alignment fixture using Additive manufacturing process May 2014

Created a fixture of a lighter thermoplastic material with a customizable holder for different car badges using additive manufacturing process such as Fused Deposit Modelling (FDM).

The manufacturing cost and time was minimized since only the holder would be 3D printed and the old holder would be recycled.

This innovative concept could be used to 3D printed various products and potential environments. Design and Manufacturing of Dry leaf Sweeper Dec 2013

Developed a ‘dry leaf sweeper’ and automated the manufacturing for mass production.

Created process plan, manufactured few parts, assembled them, created a process plan for manufacturing, planned the layout of the factory, implemented group technology and Flexible Manufacturing system.

The customer base and cost was considered while planning for automation which could be used for automated production of a product in any industry.

Design and optimization of Hydraulic brake for mountain bikes Dec 2013

Optimized a hydraulic disc brake of a mountain bike to minimize the stopping distance in turn maximizing the braking torque.

Designed the disk, brake pads, brake piston etc. which was validated using stress analysis thereby reducing the cost and increasing efficiency of the brakes.

The objective function, constraints and appropriate optimization algorithm, applicable to optimization of product in any industry, was considered.

Controller Design of a Fire extinguishing Robot Dec 2013

Designed a fire extinguishing robot intended to be used primarily in buildings or small industrial area.

Developed a controller using concepts of controls and system analysis which would control the movement of the wheel and motor to pump water to extinguish fire.

Natural convection heat transfer in Laminar Flow and its validation using Computational Fluid Dynamics for Non-Newtonian Fluid May 2012

Experimentally investigated mixed convection heat transfer in a coil-in-shell heat exchanger for various Reynolds numbers or various non-Newtonian fluid, various tube-to-coil diameter ratios and dimensionless coil pitch.

Determined heat transfer characteristics by designing and analyzing coils, simulating the flow while applying the boundary conditions.

The results were validated against experimental observations forming correlations for the estimation of heat transfer inside a helical coil as appropriate to the experimental conditions.

Design of Energy Efficient House Nov 2011

Designed a house which would consume minimum energy without compromising the energy needs.

Finalist in the Asia Pacific region as a part of the competition conducted by Emerson Company. PAPERS PRESENTED: Multi-Attribute Decision Based Life Cycle Assessment in Packaging (Term Paper) Dec 2013

Used Life Cycle Assessment method integrated with Multi Attribute Utility theory in order to compare the existing egg packaging materials with a new bagasse based packaging. Concluded that bagasse based packaging is better than conventional packaging.

Optimization of Energy Efficient Building using Non Renewable Energy Sources (Term Paper) May 2014

Optimized the use of combination of renewable energy sources to satisfy the household energy such that the dependence on the energy from the grid is minimized.

A review of CFD analysis in heat transfer in helical coils. May 2012

Reviewed CFD analysis or numerical methods used for Heat transfer in helical coils by various researchers. The paper qualified for presentation at an International conference at SPICON 2012 (Sardar Patel College of Engineering, Mumbai, India).

CO-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES:
