      Feedback between the heat release rate fluctuations in a combustor and its acoustic field can lead to ruinously large oscillations, which can ultimately result in structural damage to combustors. As part of the Young Research Fellow (YRF) Program at IIT Madras, I, along with Prof. R. I. Sujith and his team, analyzed how thermoacoustic instability can be mitigated by optimally coupling the cans of a combustor. We modeled two connected cans as two mutually time-delay coupled thermoacoustic oscillators and investigated their dynamics numerically and analytically through the lens of synchronization theory. We determined the optimal parameter values to mitigate thermoacoustic instability in the model. We also showed that connecting a can to itself (self-coupling) can also effectively quench thermoacoustic instability in a combustor. We have presented our work at two international conferences and authored 2 peer-reviewed journal papers. Show less

      I was a teaching assistant for the massive open online course (MOOC) "Engineering Mechanics - Statics and Dynamics" on NPTEL. I helped prepare quizzes, assignments, and examinations for around 6000 registered students and clarified doubts on a regular basis through the course forum.

      I studied the onset of modulational instability in a chain of oscillators harmonically coupled to the nearest neighbors and subjected to nonlinear substrate potential along with Dr. Behrooz Yousefzadeh. I performed numerical analysis and compared different integration schemes (like Runge-Kutta and Forest-Ruth) coded from scratch on MATLAB. We used the method of multiple scales to analytically verify the results.

      I took my first steps in nonlinear dynamics with this project by analyzing the free & forced response of a two-degree of freedom spring-mass system with cubic stiffness under the guidance of Prof. Abhijit Sarkar. I implemented analytical and numerical techniques (harmonic balancing and shooting procedure combined with pseudo-arclength continuation method) on MATLAB.

      As part of a team of more than 30 passionate students striving to build a Mars Rover Prototype, I analyzed, designed, and fabricated the elbow mechanism of the rover's robotic arm. I utilized MATLAB for kinematic & kinetic analysis and performed Finite Element Method Simulations on Autodesk Fusion 360 to optimize the arm links. With this, I improved the range of elbow by ~50% from the previous design for the same linear actuator range and arm size. I worked with CNC, laser cutting and 3D printing to manufacture the elbow.
