Arjun Chauhan

• Collaborated with a team of 60+ engineers to design, test, and manufacture an electric vehicle to compete in the Formula SAE Michigan competition. • Designed the cooling system for the car’s 6 kWh battery pack, basing design decisions on CFD heat simulations, forced convection calculations, and flow models. • Managed the wind tunnel testing plan for design validation.

• Optimized accumulator design for manufacturability and protection/insulation of internal electronic components (Tractive and GLV systems) while enabling access to busbars, isolation relays, and fuses for serviceability. • Modeled load-based accumulator-chassis mounts for a 4 mount system considering rule constraints and FEA results. • Manufactured and mounted parts and mechanical systems using welding techniques, CNC lathes, water jet, and milling machines.

•Analyzed the Exiobase3 MRIO database to extract GHG emissions data for 49 regions and 163 industries. • Developed models to calculate consumption based carbon footprints for US households broken down by industries/products and directly impacted regions.

Title: "Price Discrimination in Online Marketplaces" • Collected data using keyless API calls from a digital distribution service in .json format and converted json data to python dictionaries for analysis while documenting procedure. • Executed data wrangling to develop pandas data frames containing ID, prices, packages, and attributes for 130,000+ products. • Performed statistical and quantitative analysis to identify trends in the service’s pricing/bundling models and their effect on software sales. •Worked under Professor Olivia Natan (Assistant Professor in Marketing)

Tutor for multivariable calculus, linear algebra, and statistics at the undergraduate level, working with 30+ students weekly. Lead study pods (group tutoring sessions) for multivariable calculus and single variable calculus classes.

• Developed an automated margin calculation system, tracking deliveries and payments to 1500+ customers through a supply-chain of 7000+ manufacturers. • Formulated potential features, with input from product, accounting, and customer relations teams, for a delivery and complaint management system UI for use by project managers and customers. • Built successful project plans covering objectives, resources, and staffing to meet schedules.

• Reviewed 20+ grant applications, providing feedback to applicants regarding proposal structure and presentation. • Assisted the application committee in selecting fundable projects from a pool of 50+ applicants.

• Gathered quality testing data for 100+ parts to analyze relationship between Vickers Hardness and Maximum Torque in screw-clamp systems, leading to the establishment of benchmark hardness values. • Identified fundamental flaws in the firm’s hardening method, leading to a shift from carburizing to carbonitriding, resulting in cost savings and lower failure rates.
