My key responsibilities will involve ensuring AMD has the latest and greatest packaging technology for future product introductions. The scope of my work focuses on the evaluating semiconductor packaging materials like substrates, thermal interface materials, and adhesives. Analyzing experimental data and applying my skills in data science and statistical analysis for product optimization.

During the internship as a Materials Engineering intern in the Research & Development department, where I lead polymer-focused projects involving the thermal & microstructural analysis of various polymer systems. My role involves 🔎: 1. Conducted thermal and microstructural analysis of polymers using FT-IR, DSC, TGA, TMA, and DMA to evaluate material properties and performance. 2. Built and maintained a thermal behavior reference library by collecting and analyzing data on various polymer systems. 3. Applied materials science and polymer chemistry knowledge to interpret lab results and support advanced material development. 4. Collaborated with cross-functional teams to share findings and contribute to ongoing R&D in product optimization efforts & sustainability. This experience not only enhanced my technical competencies in thermal analysis and material behavior but also strengthened my ability to communicate scientific findings in a team-oriented industrial setting.

This project, in partnership with NIIMBL, was for the analysis of continuous perfusion operations in biopharmaceutical manufacturing. The study assessed major output measures such as product quality over the whole harvest duration and applied statistical data analysis on a hybrid manufacturing system combining batch and continuous manufacturing elements. Among the most important tools and methods applied in the project were Monte Carlo Simulation for forecasting modeling and Plotly for data visualization. In addition to technical skills, the project taught us valuable experience in collaboration and communication among a large team. These experiences continue to improve the general objective of optimizing efficiency and consistency in bioproduction.

As a Mechanical and Materials Engineer, I gained invaluable experience in mechanical design and material selection for machinery parts used in a CNC Machine. Additionally, I explored the marketing and sales side of the business, learning how strategies are developed and implemented. 🔧 Key Highlights: 1. Proficiency in CAD modeling and CNC machinery. 2. Understanding of material analysis and selection for CNC tools and components. 3. Exposure to sales and marketing strategies. Grateful to the LMW MTD team for this incredible learning opportunity. Excited to apply these skills in my future endeavors!

As an intern in Product Development and CAD designing team at OhmAI Tech Labs LLP a sister company of Precimeasure LTD, I was responsible for assisting in the creation and refinement of innovative product designs using computer-aided design software. My role involves collaborating with the team to conceptualize ideas, develop prototypes in SolidWorks, and refine designs based on feedback and market research. Through this experience, I aim to hone my skills in product development while contributing in designing 2 projects, which are the Automated Pill Dispenser and Indegenous heating lunch carrier. Through this internship I have gained how engineering and CAD design works in practice and how to use it in starting/developing a innovatory product into the market!

Worked optimizing the usage of raw materials and investigating the correlation on how varying suppliers of these polymer (raw materials) influence the final compound properties used in tire components. Moreover, the research consisted of identifying and resolving problems to enhance the process in relation to material science and process engineering. In addition to identifying and resolving problems in the elastomer properties of rubber used in tire manufacturing, I was able to work alongside in the Materials Labaratory focusing on materials testing and property analysis of rubber compounds. Through this I also developed an incredible intuition on material testing and utilization of ML Scorch, Rebound, Tensile strength and Rheological property testings.
