Research Student, Microscale Transport Process Laboratory

• Sep 2018 - Apr 2020

Assisted a PhD student working on thermal management using smart polymersWorked on developing hotspot cooling technique using smart polymersWere able to achieve a significant cooling effect and also for longer durations than other techniquesWorked on a bachelor project on the study of thin-film dynamics of a mixture of two liquidsWas exposed to the technique of thin-film interferometry and used it in experiments

Mechanical Team Member, Autonomous Underwater Vehicle Team

• Feb 2017 - Aug 2018

The IIT Kharagpur Autonomous Underwater Vehicle Team (Team AUV) is a student group working in the field of autonomous underwater vehicles. We design and build fully autonomous underwater vehicles for research and competitive purposes. My responsibility was to make a preliminary mechanical design of the fourth version of the vehicle using knowledge of basic mechanics and hydrodynamics. I used Solidworks 2016 to make the model of the vehicle.

Visiting Student Intern

• May 2019 - Jul 2019

Worked on the development of cellulose-based films for applications in packaging materials. Studied the oxygen barrier properties of the films in an unmodified form and then tried to see how the properties change due to modification of the cellulose and also due to addition of a polymer Also performed mechanical characterization of the polymer-cellulose composite Worked on the development of cellulose-based films for applications in packaging materials.

Summer Intern

• May 2017 - Aug 2017

The primary job was to develop content in the form of questions and solutions pertaining to the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) for the National Digital Library Portal. The portal would help students all over the nation get access to these resources for free. Apart from creating solutions for the students we also tried to provide requisite learning resources,practice problems and alternate approaches to solve a problem.
