Research Focus Area: Evolution of Stress in Titanium Aerospace components fabricated using Selective Laser Melting Research Aims and Objectives: Understanding the effect of SLM parameters on stress build up and mechanical properties. Devising in-situ stress reduction strategies. Finding an optimum combination of parameters that will minimize the residual stress as well as maximize the mechanical properties. Retrofitting the machine with high temperature bed so as to propose enhancements in the future machines based on the effects of high bed temperature on residual stress and mechanical properties. Understanding the geometrical dependence of residual stress and identifying areas of high stress concentration. Applying stress reduction strategies to areas with high stress concentration so as to propose enhancements in future machines to have the capability of varying the process parameters during the build. Overall the objective is to show the trade off a designer has to make when choosing parameters based on the effect of SLM parameters on residual stress and mechanical properties.

Majored in Energy Systems and Controls Minored in Management

Third best undergraduate project award, Fall 2004

I worked with undergraduate and graduate students to achieve excellence in their academic courses and research projects through one on one sessions.

I teach core Mechanical Engineering courses to Seniors and supervise design projects besides teaching Graduate courses to MS students.

I worked as a Research Associate in Layered Extrusion of engineering Metal Alloys (LEMA) using SemiSolid Thixotropic Feedstock project. This involved understanding the basic concepts of thixotropic extrusion. I designed an extruder that heated metallic feedstock and applied mechanical shearing to control viscosity for thixotropic extrusion. Extruding selected feed-stock from novel thixotropic extrusion system and assessing final parts for residual stress formation and mechanical properties is the end goal of the project.

I worked with undergraduate and graduate students to achieve excellence in their academic courses and research projects through one on one sessions.

Supervising laboratory work and tutorial sessions for different modules which included experiments at undergraduate level.

I was working as a Post Graduate Researcher on a core research project, which involved: Understanding the effect of SLM parameters on stress build up and mechanical properties. Devising in-situ stress reduction strategies. Finding an optimum combination of parameters that will minimize the residual stress as well as maximize the mechanical properties. Retrofitting the SLM125 machine at University of Sheffield, with high temperature bed so as to propose enhancements in the future machines based on the effects of high bed temperature on residual stress and mechanical properties.

Worked as a lead Control Research Engineer on a Hybrid Hydraulic Bus Research project. The focal research aim was to use Hydraulic Mechanism to store the energy recovered from braking as it is a more efficient way of storing the recovered energy rather than converting it into electrical energy and storing in batteries as in Hybrid Electric vehicles. My main responsibilities included: Programming a Single Board RIO microcontroller using LabView FPGA to control the source of energy that the bus uses during travel, designing the wiring the diagram for controller interface with the bus and implementing the system on board. This work gave me an significant knowledge and work experience of industrial control systems and software design methodologies.

Supervising Lab Work for Experimental Methodology course which included experiments ranging from the most basic topics of measurement and calibration devices to advanced topics of dynamics, signal processing, thermodynamic and acoustics measurement at undergraduate level. Assessing lab reports and technical writing assignments.

Supervision of electro-mechanical projects.
