Objective: To seek a career in CAD/CAM and solid, geometric modeling and their applications in Industry.

Education:
· M. Tech in Mechanical Engineering (specialization: Manufacturing), I.I.T. Bombay, July’99 – Present CPI: 7.43/10.0
· B.E. in Mechanical Engineering, Pune University, June’94 – June’98, (First Class with Distinction: Marks 67.57%)
· H.S.C. Maharashtra Board, 1994 (First Class: Marks 70.5%)
· S.S.C. Maharashtra Board, 1992 (First Class with Distinction: Marks 83.0%)

Industrial Experience:
· Krupp Industries India Ltd., Pune
Graduate Trainee Engineer in Materials (Purchase) Department, Dec’98 – July’99
My work involved complete procurement of machined components and assemblies required in boilers and material handling equipment.
· Videocon Appliances Ltd. Refrigerator Division, Aurangabad
Graduate Trainee Engineer in Engineering Department, Aug - Dec. 1998.
My work involved performing Time and Work-study, Work Distribution, and production line set-up. I was responsible for preparing Machine Down-time report and daily “First Time Right” report.

Research Experience:
· Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) Lab, IIT Bombay, Mumbai
Research Assistant, July’99 – Present
My work involves:
o Assisting Professor-In-Charge in the research and consultancy Activities
o Setting up of new Lab experiments for undergraduate and post graduate students at IIT Bombay
o Demonstrating software facilities such as SDRC’s I-Deas 8, MasterCAM and hardware facilities such as CNC Machining Centers and Robots available in the Laboratory to students at IIT Bombay and industry professionals during Continuing Education Programs (CEP).

Projects:
· Master’s Thesis: “Process Modeling and Optimization of Composite machining using Artificial Neural Networks (ANN)”.
The work involves use of ANN techniques to predict Product Quality in composite machining based on various machining parameters. Software will be developed to model the composite machining process and optimize machining parameters to maximize material removal rate (MRR).
· M. Tech Home Paper (Seminar): Intelligent Machine Control
Extensive literature survey in the area of use of Artificial Intelligence techniques in manufacturing
· Undergraduate Thesis: “Analysis of stress concentration in an infinite plate with a circular hole”: Analysis was carried out using Finite Element Method. The results were verified by ANSYS and photo-elasticity experiments.
· B.E. Home Paper (Seminar): Radiographic testing of weldments

Other Projects:
· Interactive Computer Graphics course Project: Graphical Simulation C++ software- “ExtruCAD” for extrusion process modeling
· Modern Information Systems course Project: Design of complete Information system –“Donation Management System” for an educational institute
· Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) course Project: Development of a system for parts coding and classification of sheet metal parts.
· Manufacturing Automation Project: Improvements in the Automatic Syringe Assembly set-up using concepts of automation
· Finite Element Methods (FEM) course Project: Development of C++ program to calculate natural frequencies in a truss structure and verification by ANSYS
· Metal Removal Processes course Seminar: Extensive literature survey of usage of Artificial Neural Networks in machining and control

Relevant Courses: Modern Information systems, Interactive Computer Graphics for CAD/CAM, Computer Integrated Manufacturing, Manufacturing Automation, Computer Numeric Control Programming, Finite Element Methods
