Intern at DRDO-ADRDE (2026-06 – 2026-08)

2-month internship at DRDO-ADRDE, Agra — simulation and aerodynamic analysis in a live defence R&D environment.

• Assigned to CFD analysis of ram air parachutes — performing both 2D and 3D CFD simulations to evaluate aerodynamic performance and flow behaviour.
• Carrying out aerofoil analysis and selection for the parachute canopy profile using XFLR5, comparing candidate aerofoils on lift, drag and stability characteristics.
• Building 3D geometry in SolidWorks and setting up mesh, boundary conditions and solver parameters in ANSYS Fluent for full aerodynamic performance evaluation.

Hardware Integrity Engineering Intern at Archanion Engineering (2024-12 – 2025-01)

• Led structural feasibility research for a hydraulic winch system (Arjun ARRV, DRDO) — load analysis, BOM preparation.
• Conducted full-plane UAV aerodynamic simulation in XFLR5 — lift/drag curves & stability analysis; self-studied UAV design via NPTEL.
• Designed 3D models in Fusion 360 for product development; tolerance checks and component verification across multiple projects.
