Optimized liquid agitation of drug products for a collaborative capital project in the design of the next generation of automated visual inspection robots Set up experiments for the validation of the multiphase CFD model of conventional drug products agitation systems Captured and post-processed the human hand motion during the manual visual inspection and fed it into the validated volume of fluid (VOF) model in Star-CCM+

Proposed and validated a novel physics-based multi-body contact model for the coaptation of bioprosthetic heart valves in a nonlinear large deformation finite element method (FEM) framework using implicit and explicit methods. Implemented a nonlinear and anisotropic material model for stress analysis of bioprosthetic heart valves. Analyzed the effects of mechanical heart valve orientation on performance parameters on a complete left heart patient-specific geometry on an over-set grid. Implemented a coupled multi-physics deformable fluid-structure interaction (FSI) framework incorporating large eddy simulation (LES) turbulence modeling and validated it with experimental data using high-performance computing (HPC) resources. Proposed a non-dimensional number for categorizing the pulsatile flow in intracranial aneurysms applied to the state-of-the-art CFD methods. Scaled and categorized periodically generated vortex rings in a water tank at different Reynolds numbers and inflow waveforms using HPC resources

Led 9 innovative Capstone senior design projects, sponsored by well-known companies and national labs leading to 2 industry-reviewed awards for Project Showcase competition. Supervised different steps of design including needs and requirement analysis, concept generation, prototyping, optimization, root cause analysis, and modeling and simulation.

Collaborated with other teaching assistants to assist students in different courses including Numerical Methods in Engineering studios, Materials Labs, and Fluid Dynamics recitation classes.
