• Performed Finite element analysis for the transient temperature field distribution of the coating layer of graphene based nano composites using Comsol Multiphysics.
• The Temperature distribution, depth of welding pool and quality of bonding is simulated.
• Worked on single track of experiments with same laser parameters to verify simulation results.

• Fabricated prosthetic arm for Medical applications in Makerbot replicator+ 3D printers with Poly Lactic Acid(PLA) material.
• Performed stress and fatigue analysis in ANSYS tool to estimate load carrying capacity and life of the product. It was found that the product failed after 32000 cycles, after continuous load of 250 Newtons
• Compared the effects of process parameters in developing the product.

- The project proved to be successful in understanding a thriving Finance program for renewable energy, HVAC systems and its impacts on sustainability goals, Job market and state economy of Arizona
- Comprehensive study on State’s Legislation (A.R.S title 48), bills (HB2206) passed and Tax regulations favoring energy based finance programs in state.
- Discussion on Limitation of PACE program and Its failure in other cases.

- Designed a Dedicated Outdoor Air System in parallel with Chilled beams for residential blocks in Phoenix, Arizona.
- Performed Heating and Cooling Load Analysis and modelled complex duct and pipe systems using Revit MEP.
- Evaluated the system by comparing it with VAV and CAV systems coupled with economizers and heat exchangers.

•The project involved in the investigation of performance of PV system installed in various buildings
and cost estimation of Installation of additional PV systems at Arizona State university.
• A system was designed based on the power demand and peak load conditions which is
combination of of Electricity, HVAC loads of the buildings and secondary units as per the campus
database.
• The PV system is designed such that 24% of the annual total Energy usage is to be offset… Show more

- Fuzzy logic based model was developed based on Mamdani Inference system for the analysis and simulation of correlation between surface roughness and the grinding parameters namely feed rate, cutting speed and depth of cut.
- The optimized levels of parameters were fixed for the machine, thus reducing the impacts of poor chip breaking and machine distortion. The cycle time of the machining process was improved by 6%,thus increasing the material removal rate of the process.
