About

June 2023 - present Consulting Engineer
Measurement Solutions Pvt. Ltd., Hyderabad

• Consulting on Sensing technologies relating to Structural Health Monitoring and Flow measurement technologies

Jun 2020 - Dec 2022 Research Associate
Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), Karlsruhe, Germany

• Worked on the project "Hydrogen in the Gas Network", which was funded by both Government entities as well as prominent private corporations located within Germany (Daimler, Bosch etc).

• Major work involved understanding the feasibility and risks involved to combustion engines in adding upto 30% H2 into CNG pipelines.

• Conducted study on the changes to power, efficiency and emissions with a focus on the phenomenon of engine knocking.

• Additionally surveyed the possibility of Hydrogen and HCNG storage on board.

• Since mid 2022 have been working on the TransHyde Norm project, which involves generation of a database for standards relating to Hydrogen transport, with a specific focus on liquid Hydrogen.

Apr 2018 - Mar 2019 Master Thesis Student
Toyota Motorsport GmbH, Cologne, Germany

• Thesis title: Development of a Black-Box Model and Algorithm to Estimate Turbulent Combustion Parameters.

• Conducted optimization of Engine combustion parameters using GT-Power

• Generated large amounts of simulated engine data (upto 70000 individual engine parameters)

• Utilized Gaussian Process regression to generate predictive functions for the necessary output conditions based on user defined engine operating conditions using ETAS-ASCMO.

• Developed optimization algorithm and user-friendly GUI based on the predictive functions in MATLAB

• Tested and validated results on 5 commercial and production engines and 1 concept engine from Toyota's portfolio

• Developed software could theoretically streamline the engine optimization process from 3 weeks to under one week and result in cost savings upto 20000€ per engine optimized.
