About
As a part of my graduate studies and research work at Clemson University, I have been accustomed to various demanding situations, during which I have exploited my skills to churn out a positive outcome.
I have a solid understanding of good design practices and have experience in FEA and simulation. I am skilled in rapid prototyping and testing. Not only am I skilled at completing the job but also good at presenting my work and the solution to a technical audience. I have also submitted multiple technical papers to various conferences.
Apart from my work towards Advanced Manufacturing techniques, I also have experience in designing and programming PLCs. During my time at Automation and Control Systems as a Research Intern, I have worked on several small scale PLC programs.
