Bio
My love for vehicles started since I learned to ride and drive. Soon this liking developed into my passion, and here I am pursuing my Master’s in Automotive Engineering at Clemson University International Center for Automotive Research. During my undergraduate studies, I developed an inclination towards Mechanical System Design and Manufacturing, so I am focusing my academics and research in Automotive BiW Design and Manufacturing. I have been a part of SmartState Manufacturing Laboratory since September 2020, and my core research is in Stochastic Toolpath development and Trochoidal Milling. I hold strong experience in CAD and FEA applications, and I am experienced in using CNCs, metrology tools, manufacturing processes, and equipment.
