Born and bought up in a countryside of India. Had an amazing childhood with lots of friends and pets. Enthusiastic about most aspects of engineering and stand-up comedy. Met and married my other half and loving the roller coster ride ever since.
Parents wanted me to become a doctor, but I preferred engineering. Came up with a loop hole and did a PhD in mechanical engineering at the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology to become a doctor. Completed bachelors and masters in Aerospace engineering at IIT Madras, India. Worked as a software engineer for a year only to realise how bad life can get.
Now, living in Germany with family, working as a development engineer, and trying out the vast selection of German beers.
The following are a few of the topics that I found interesting.
Currently I am working with the design and development of mechanical aspects of Electric motors.
Structural and thermal aspects of materials under various conditions using theoretical and practical approaches.
Theoretical and practical experience with several kinds of materials.
Started out of interest and now speaks Python fluently along with 3 - 4 other languages.
Beginner, done a few courses and projects. This is a nice hobby as well.
It combines many of my interests together; mainly programming, robotics and machine learning.
It was the best way to earn pocket money during my Masters, while learning engineering fundamentals.
I can cook indian dishes decently and indian versions of some Spanish and Italian dishes reasonably well.
Over the years in both academia and industry, I have developed a number of tools for a variety of engineering applications (Github).
Various numerical models to examine material properties using FEA under different environmental conditions.
Matlab code to detect the crack in an image an image. Also able to find displacement fields and associated fracture properties.
Different kinds of damage models depending on the material and the dependency of loading conditions.
Codes to automate, extract and examine the FEA simulation data. Focus on Abaqus simulations.
This is the timeline of major events in my life. If you are looking for a formal version, here you go.
