Work Larsen and Toubro Ltd., India (August 2007 – July 2009)
Experience - Executive Engineer in the Heavy Engineering Division
- Responsible for manufacturing of Heat Exchangers, Condensers and Wind
Tunnels.

Research Turbulence
Experience -Application of Ensemble Kalman Filtering to a turbulent combustion
model for reduction of error in variables passed from a finer scale one
dimensional turbulence to a courser scale large eddy simulation.
- I am presently doing this research under the guidance of Dr. Tarek
Echekki (MS, Ph.D. Stanford University).

-This research is about developing systems and equations which govern

multiscale phenomena in reactive turbulent flows. My work is based on
coupling Large Eddy Simulation (LES) equations with 1-D schochastic
governing equations of One Dimenstional Turbulence (ODT). Data has
to be passed from one scale to the other. The data passed contributes
directly to the accuracy of the solution. The ODT solutions also constitute
statistical data whose behavior over all scales depends on its density i.e.
the number of ODT points embedded in one LES cell. Therefore these
values being passed should be spectrally smooth. For this purpose I am
utilizing different filtering techniques including Kalman filter to couple
LES and ODT in a better way and to obtain more accurate solutions.

Mass Transfer
- Dynamic Modeling and Simulation of the Formation of Vesicle Traps
in Fast Axonal Transport
- A dynamic 1-D mathematical model was set up to simulate the formation
of vesicle traps in fast axonal transport occurring in neurons.
- The transient governing partial differential equations were solved to
calculate the time required for the model to reach steady state.
 Thermal Science
- Mathematical Simulation of Compression ignition engines to study the
performance characteristics and to predict Equilibrium products and
their properties after combustion of different fuels.
- I did a zero dimensional model to simulate a complete cycle of a diesel
engine to study its various characteristics using progressive combustion.
- The entire code was written in C++
- I did this paper as a Research Assistant of Prof. J.P. Subrahmanyam (Head
of Mechanical Engg Department and NTPC Chair Professor) in Indian
Institute of Technology, Delhi

Tribology
- Effect of Oil Jet Peening on the Tribological properties of AA6063-T6
alloy.
- I studied the mechanical properties of various materials and oils
extensively and developed the new Oil Jet Peening process.
- Did the research as a part of Research Fellowship won in Indian Institute
of Technology, Madras under Dr. R. Gnanamoorthy.
- Process is still under development and analysis to exploit its implications
far and wide.

Anti Collision System

- Developed an Anti Collision System for Trains which could detect and
prevent collisions faster than any existing system.
- The entire system was simulated mathematically on C++ and checked for
reliability and efficiency in all possible circumstances.
- Used features like microcontroller programming, satellite communication
and RF transmission.
- Design won Award for Best Innovation in Indian Institute of Technology,
Madras. It was also appreciated by Portuguese and Romanian
governments and taken up by Siemens India for patent and production.
