• Set up, post process and analyze HPDC casting simulations on Flow 3D and EKK.
• Evaluate simulation data and generate reports to optimize tool design and process parameters to ensure optimum filling, venting and solidification conditions.
• Communicate with customers suggesting product design changes to improve casting feasibility.
• Coordinate with cross-functional teams to discuss simulation results, encourage brainstorming sessions and develop a working strategy to improve the existing process parameters and casting practices.
• Develop effective DOE, and support process and tooling team with technical expertise to predict, prevent and eliminate casting related defects in new and existing programs.
• Lead training sessions on understanding fluid dynamics, metal casting and solidification.

• Performed experiments on Al-Si-Mg alloy and investigate the effect of composition and thermal gradient on the microstructure of the ternary alloy.
• Conducted DIC experiments to investigate the failure mechanism and effect of secondary phases in cast iron alloys under compression.
• Established structure-property correlation plot of cast iron by optical and mechanical characterization of eutectic iron.
• Introduced a standard procedure to precisely control the chemistry and microstructure of cast iron melt prepared for directional solidification experiments ensuring safety in the foundry.
• Managed groups of undergraduate students conducting research in laboratory environment.
