Professional Skills*

Analytical

  • Linear, non-linear, multi-physics modeling of system dynamics – fluid-elasticity, electro-mechanics.
  • Linear, non-linear aerodynamic modeling - Theodorsen, Peters’, ONERA, Bryant & Garcia 2013 (low Reynolds number), Lifting-line theory, Blade Element Momentum theory (BEMT).
  • Data analysis - signal processing, uncertainty/error quantification of data from instrumented hardware and image analysis for Digital Image Correlation (DIC).
  • Critical design analysis of multi-part assemblies – kinematic, clearance, Finite Element Analysis and Design
  • Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (DFMEA).

Experimental

  • Experimental structural dynamics/vibration – frequency response, modal analysis using DIC and modal hammer techniques.
  • Rapid-prototyping, fabricating test apparatus and experimental rigs and design of experiments.
  • Flow investigation using hot-wire anemometers.
  • Sensor instrumentation and data acquisition, interfacing with National Instruments data acquisition hardware and custom LabVIEW VIs.

Design and Development

  • 3D CAD part and assembly level modeling.
  • Performance, durability and reliability testing of designed parts.
  • Engineering drawings with GD&T based on functional requirements and manufacturability.
  • Collaborating with cross-functional, multidisciplinary teams across all stages of product development.

Tools, Applications and Software

  • CAD: SOLIDWORKS, SIEMENS Unigraphics(NX), SIEMENS Teamcenter.
  • Simulation and analysis: MATLAB, ANSYS, COMSOL, ADAMS, VIC-3D, C++, Git, XFOIL, CFD (Fluent).
