Summer Internship Organization: Global Research Center, General Electric, Bangalore Period: May-July 2007

Title: Setting up of an Industrial Volume Computed Tomography (VCT) system.� VCT is a Non-Destructive Evaluation technique for detecting internal defects in machine components. � Worked single handedly on the project in synchronization with senior colleagues working in India and US. � Successfully integrated hardware and software components into a state-of-art industrial VCT system, first of its kind in

India.

Image Generation Software for CT Guide: Prof. Prabhat Munshi, Department of Mechanical Engineering, IIT Kanpur, December 2006-Mar 2007 � Developed multi-platform based software for visualization of data obtained from Computed Tomography in a team of two

members. � Improvised and applied various Image Generation algorithms for imaging of raw data. � Software is a commercialized product and is currently being used in NDT laboratory of IIT Kanpur.

Academic Projects

Modeling of Thermal-Stresses in Piston Guide: Prof. N.N.Kishore, Department of Mechanical Engineering, IIT Kanpur, January 2007-April 2007 � Modeled the variation of temperature and thermal stresses in the piston of an Internal Combustion Engine, produced by

heat flow from combustion chamber to the surroundings. � Results obtained were successfully validated with the analysis obtained from ‘Ansys’ model. � Faults in the design of piston were identified and improvements were suggested.

Design and Fabrication of an Ornithopter Guide: Prof. Anupam Saxena, Department of Mechanical Engineering, IIT Kanpur, Feb 2008-ongoing � Designed and fabricated a flapping wings micro-plane (ornithopter) in a team of four members � I was responsible for instrumentation and design development. � First prototype has been developed and successfully demonstrated flights for small time. Further improvisations are being

done to gain longer endurance and better control

M.Tech. Thesis: Development of Symplectic Methods specific to Special Hamiltonian systemsGuide: Prof. Basant Lal Sharma, Department of Mechanical Engineering, IIT Kanpur, December 2007-ongoing � Symplectic methods are used for carrying out simulations of conservative mechanical systems for longer times with higher

accuracy. � Extensive research and literature survey has been done to understand the theory and recent developments in the field. � Working on simulation of Frenkel-Kontorova lattice model using higher order Symplectic Algorithm.
