About
Mechanical Engineering graduate and independent researcher with three years of teaching experience and hands-on experience in CAE/CFD simulation, mechanical design, EV systems, embedded mechatronics, and engineering research. Proficient in ANSYS Fluent, ANSYS Workbench, DesignModeler, SolidWorks, MATLAB/Simulink, Python, and JScript. Recently completed a 60-case parametric CFD study of a CubeSat micro-thruster nozzle, including automated geometry generation using ANSYS DesignModeler.
Led the design and validation of a 48V/1000W BLDC electric two-wheeler with ESP32-based sensing and control. Published one research paper and developed multiple manuscripts in the areas of automotive systems, mechatronics, and systems engineering.
Experience
Assistant Professor, Mechanical Engineering Department - NOVA College of Engineering and Technology (Jangareddigudem Campus) - Jangareddigudem
(2023-01 - 2026-01)
Delivered undergraduate instruction in the Mechanical Engineering Department for three years following graduation, building foundational teaching, curriculum, and student-mentorship experience alongside independent research activity. Sustained an active independent research and publication pipeline in parallel with teaching duties, producing one published paper and multiple manuscripts targeting IEEE, ASME, Elsevier, SAGE, and Taylor & Francis journals.
CAE Engineer — Simulation Lab Internship (CubeSat Micro-Thruster Nozzle Geometry Optimization) - Simulation Lab
(2026-06-04 - 2026-07-24)
- Conducted a 60-case parametric ANSYS Fluent compressible-flow study to optimize micro-thruster nozzle throat-radius geometry for a CubeSat propulsion application.
- Automated parametric geometry generation in ANSYS DesignModeler using JScript API patterns and coordinate-file import, producing the full set of geometry variants for the study.
- Delivered a final technical presentation summarizing methodology and results; internship certification and Letter of Recommendation expected in early August 2026.
