ABOUT ME

Who am I and what am I doing currently?

​

I am an automotive graduate student at Clemson University with a bachelor's degree in Automobile Engineering from Anna University, Chennai, India. Currently, I am working as a Research Assistant at the Clemson Composites Center where we design, develop, analyze, and manufacture different composite parts focussed mainly on lightweighting components to be used in future vehicles. 

​

​

How I got here?

​

My journey can be traced back to the end of my schooling when I decided Mechanical Engineering will be my core area of study thereafter. Through courses like Engineering Mechanics, Strength of Materials, Mechanics of Machines, participation in competitions like Formula Bharat, and working as a research intern at Ashok Leyland, I was able to develop skills that brought me to this amazing space dedicated solely for Automotive Research. During the course of my master's studies, I have worked on multiple research projects involving the use of software such as Solidworks, Moldex3D, ANSYS Workbench, Hyperworks, MATLAB, Minitab, and Siemens (LMS) Testlab.

​

​

Where am I looking to go next?

​

I have a strong understanding of Finite Element Analysis, Manufacturing and Testing methods used in the industry and have experience working with CAD Modeling, FEA simulations, and Quality control methods. I will be graduating in August 2021 and I am looking for full-time opportunities to kickstart my career in the Automotive/ Mechanical and Industrial domains.
