AboutMe

I’m a final-year Mechanical Engineering student at SVNIT Surat, driven by curiosity and a desire to explore ideas beyond a single discipline. I enjoy stepping into unfamiliar areas, understanding how things work, and connecting concepts across different fields. What excites me most is the process of conceptualising an idea, analysing its possibilities and limitations, and refining it into a practical solution.

My experience and interests span robotics, mechanical design, simulation, data analysis, astronomy and astrophysics, and engineering research, alongside a growing interest in business and how ideas can create real-world value. I enjoy learning through projects, experimentation, and problem solving, and I’m always looking for new areas to explore, new perspectives to understand, and better ways to turn ideas into something meaningful.

Experience

RESEARCH PROJECT

Design and Analysis of Low-velocity Impact Testing Fixture with Experimental and Numerical Study on Aluminium 6061-T6 Plate

Sardar Vallabhbhai National Institute of Technology, Surat

Ongoing

Developing a low-velocity drop-weight impact testing fixture and analysing the dynamic response of Aluminium 6061-T6 using Abaqus/Explicit. The study combines FEA, Johnson-Cook material modelling, contact mechanics, parametric analysis, and experimental-numerical validation.

INTERNSHIP

Astronomy & Astrophysics Intern

India Space Academy

Jun 2024 - Jul 2024

Performed computational cosmological analysis on real Type Ia supernova datasets, including Pantheon+ and SH0ES, using Python in Anaconda JupyterLab with NumPy, SciPy, Matplotlib, and Astropy. Processed redshift and distance modulus observations to generate Hubble diagrams and residual plots, applying the ΛCDM cosmological model to estimate the Hubble constant (H₀) and the age of the Universe.
