Academic Projects

Aerocase
Individual Course Project
ME 203 : Design and Manufacturing
- Designed and fabricated a compact, innovative, and functional instrument case that ensures the safe storage of Aerodrum instruments while reflecting the aesthetic essence of music.
- Made using Al 5052 aluminum sheet, A356 cast aluminum, common pine lumber, Duron hardboard and polyurethane foam. Major processes include sheet metal bending, TIG welding, sand casting, wood working, laser cutting and 3D printing

Efficient Battery Thermal Management Systems for EV
Final year B. Tech. thesis project
Advisor: Dr. B. R. Pattabhi
- The project was aimed at improving the effectiveness of the battery thermal management system by reducing the cell capacity degradation caused due to temperature effects.
- Link to the published paper : Design of lithium-ion battery packs for two-wheeled electric vehicles
Macro-scale Design Aspects of EV Battery Pack
Summer research internship project
Advisors: Dr. Sundararajan Natarajan and Dr. B. R. Pattabhi
- Performed preliminary battery pack design calculations by initially developing a system of equations in EXCEL and later implementing it in a MATLAB app for a better GUI experience.

Battery Voltage Level Indicator
Basic electronics lab group project
- Designed and implemented a circuit consisting of two op-amps (IC UA741), two LEDs, two resistors and two potentiometers capable of detecting two voltage levels of any battery connected to the circuit by turning on the two LEDs one after another. The op-amps were configured as comparator in the circuit. The two potentiometers can be adjusted to set any desired levels of voltage to be detected.
