• Engineered a Smart Inhaler to improve drug delivery efficiency by combining ergonomic CAD design with intelligent software-based actuation prompts. • Developed inhaler geometry in SolidWorks (features, surface modeling) with a DFMA and injection molding focus, ensuring manufacturability and ease of assembly. Eliminated un-moldable features (e.g., lack of draft angles, surface artifacts), reducing mold complexity by ~40% and enabling rapid 3D printed prototyping. • Delivered detailed engineering drawings, BOMs, and revision-controlled documentation for cross-team design reviews and manufacturing handoffs. • Spearheaded modeling shift from CFD-DEM to Euler-Euler for sub-5 micro-m particle tracking, reducing simulation time; 2000 hrs to 200 hrs. Simulated transient, turbulent flow through the inhaler and internal airways in OpenFOAM; results selected for MedTech Innovator 2025 proposal.

In-depth introduction to industrial tools such as Catia and ANSYS. Completed modelling and analysis on various shapes and structures in Catia. Also worked with ANSYS workbench for flow CFD analysis in various conditions, under the expert guidance of L&T engineers.

• Designed a modular static rocket thrust test stand using 40×40 mm aluminum extrusions in SolidWorks, allowing rapid on-site assembly and repositioning. Performed structural FEA in SolidWorks to confirm stability under maximum simulated thrust (~1000N), ensuring safety margin against structural buckling and fatigue. • Engineered a servo-actuated, spring-driven parachute deployment system integrated with Arduino and barometric altimeter; enabled precise recovery timing for experimental payloads. Reduced payload crash rate and recovery time by automating descent with embedded control logic. • Voted best design in project season, increasing portability due to modularity.

Industry standards and theory on aircrafts, windmills and re-entry vehicles. Completed a project along with a team of 4, conceptual design of an Earth atmospheric Re-entry vehicle for four people.
