Graduate Research Assistant

Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University

• Conducted Literature review, understanding the codebase involved with the CURVIB method through implementation of benchmark problems such as channel flow but with moving boundaries, this was further extended with complicated patient specific aorta models and mesh.
• Implemented basic incompressible flow solvers ( Artificial compressibility) parallely using PETSC and deployed on supercomputing clusters.

Graduate Research Assistant

Department of Biomedical Engineering, Texas A&M University, USA

• Through physical simulation and machine learning, a universal end-diastolic pressure volume relationship was found.
• The relationship between measurable parameters (such as the slope and area under the end-diastolic pressure volume relationship curve) and myocardial stiffness has been examined using in-silico measurements.

Undergraduate Research Associate

Harish Rajan Lab, Department of Mechanical Engineering, VIT University, India

• Simulated the hypersonic re-entry of a bluff-body through computational fluid dynamics (using ANSYS Fluent). Using this platform, design optimization study was conducted for re-entry capsules in space craft.

Graduate Teaching Assistant

Department of Statistics, Texas A&M University, USA

• Lectured and conducted lab sessions on Fundamentals of Statistics, Probability Distributions, Regression and Visualization.
• Developed the excel data analysis tutorial module.

Volunteer Tutor

VITeach, VIT University, India

• Tutored high school students from underprivileged communities on weekends at the local public school.
• Significantly improved the scores of these students in Mathematics, Physics and English.
• Some students were identified to have high potential and AP level coursework was taught, which led to impressive performance in the IIT JEE entrance test.

• American Society of Indian Engineers - Chad Patel Scholarship.

• Department of Aerospace Engineering, Texas A&M University - Graduate Academic Excellence Fellowship (Fall)
• Department of Aerospace Engineering, Texas A&M University - Graduate Academic Excellence Fellowship (Spring)
