EXPERIENCE

Teaching assistant in Mechanical Engineering, UNC Charlotte Sept. 2007

to Dec 2008

> Graded Dynamics and Thermal Fluids Design, Statics, and Dynamics under-

graduate homework's.

> Conducted review classes before exams.

> Proctored exams for undergraduate students.

Research work at Mechanical Engineering, UNC Charlotte Jan

2009 to Dec 2009

> Conducted rollover prediction experiments on light & heavy trucks.

> Instrumented a racecar in a graduate class for vehicle handling

analysis.

> Mapped Fuel Injection for 6.2 liter V8 engine on Engine Dynamometer

330kw.

PROJECT'S

> Master's thesis project focuses on developing a rollover prevention

system which is installed on heavy duty trucks to give warning to the

driver in advance to prevent accidents. The system takes feedback from

various points like suspension displacement, lateral acceleration, and

speed to study the rollover condition. It includes design &

programming of electronic hardware.

> BS Senior design project "Elasto Plastic Analysis of Gas Turbine

Wheel" in which we induced residual stresses in a turbine stage by

spinning at high speed and at high temperature to reduce stresses

during normal operation.

Completed graduate coursework

> Advanced Motorsports Instrumentation,

> Advanced Fluid Mechanics,

> Advanced Manufacturing Process & Equipment,

> Design Optimization,

> Control Systems,

> Advanced Applied Mathematics,

> Product & Process Design,

> Finite Element Analysis.
