Projects Undertaken: Design of a Novel Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT) - Dr. Sundar Jul, 2011 University. This project involves the design of a vertical axis wind turbine based on a nove l design, called the door and window model. This wind turbine is projected to give a power output of 10Kw in average wind conditions in Thanjore Optimization of a Compact Heat Exchanger Using Genetic Algorithm - Dr. Ashok Kumar May, 2011 (SASTRA university) This project involved forming of the heat transfer equations based on convection for various fin geometries. The best fin geometry was identified and optimized furth er to reduce cost with the help of a genetic algorithm code which was implemented in M ATLAB. Hypothesis and Experimental Verification of a New Method for Design of the Cam Profile in a Flexible Impeller Pump (major project, Xylem Water Solutions, Vadodara) Dec 2011-Apr 2012: Improving the h-q characteristics and sustainability in a flexible impeller pump are the major challenges faced in the industry. This project aims to suggest an approach to solve this problem by modifying the cam profile. A new method involving use of algebraic functions using with smooth higher order derivatives to govern the displacement curve of the profile is proposed here. Th e functions are modified to take a non dimensional parameter as the variable. The proposed a pproach is then verified by fabrication and testing of four different prototypes. This design approach allows us to control the vane deformations to a higher degr ee, thus reducing vibrations and noise and also gaining control to a certain degree on th e performance of the pump.

Other Information: Career objective:

To contribute to the society by dedicating a lifetime to the development of new technologies in the field of mechanical engineering, and thus in the process als o helping my organization to grow. Organizing abilities: 1. Was an organizer for the treasure hunt event in Sakshama 09; the event had a ma ssive turnout of over 300 people. 2. Was an organizer for the treasure hunt event and the earth grabber (robotics) event for Sakshama 10 both events were highly successful and smoothly orchestrated

Participation in tech-fests 1. Participated in the air borne event in daksh'10; which involved making water propelled rocket. 2. Participated in the Extreme exchange event in daksh'11; wherein participants we re asked to fabricate a batch type heat exchanger.

DECLARATION: I declare all the above information to be true and verifiable to the best of my knowledge.
