Materials Scientist and Aerospace Engineering Professional with experience in metallic, composite, and sustainable material systems within the AIRBUS environment at Capgemini Engineering. Experienced in materials characterization, qualification, process optimization, and technical compliance for aerospace applications, with exposure to titanium and steel task-force activities, supplier qualification workflows, and engineering documentation management. My technical background includes permanent magnets, Heusler alloys, lightweight aerospace structures, additive manufacturing, metallography, SEM analysis, mechanical testing, and lifecycle sustainability assessment (LCA/MCI).
• Google and Skywise expert working on SCQC couple Qualification progress for all the AIRBUS commodities. • Working with the metal, chemical and composite team for product specification analysis. • Manufacturer-Supplier-Consumer technical direction to AQPL. • Managing workflow and publishing AIRBUS Stress-related technical documentation. • Making and presenting the KPIs showing progress in Ti-de-risking (Titanium Task Force).
• Worked as an Engineering Associate in AIRBUS Steel and Ti Task Force for M&P progress tracking. • Research Associate in (Capgemini) GECO (Gallery Efficient Catering Operations) supporting in Airbus A350 cabin systems.
• Calculated and compared comprehensive LCA, MCI for Mg & Al within aerospace applications and published sustainable End-of-Life scenarios. • Introduced a 36% weight reduction of Mg-handrail using investment casting but with a difference of 15% higher C-emission compared to Al-handrail.
Attempting to enhance the productivity of Rare-Earth magnets by either introducing or substituting compatible elements, resulting in strong magnets for direct industrial applications. • Grain size/ boundary using High-Res SEM and magnetic strength using Permagraph only to compare SmV magnets and NdFeB magnets. • Operated resistance and induction furnaces to study the thermal performance of Nd- and Sm-based alloys. • Performed LECO tests to check the composition of magnets. • Executed sand-blasting of coated magnetic components.
Performed multiple operations on Sm-based magnets to compare the properties with the Nd-Fe-B as a permanent magnet. Achieved the magnetic remanace of 1.43T for Nd-Fe-B magnets.
My responsibilities as a HiWi involved: • Casting of metal and alloy ingots from their elemental forms. • Perform suction casting for precise microscopy of homogeneous alloy cylinders. • Different polymers embeddings for OM and SEM. • Carrying out mechanical tests for the suction casted samples through Instron-UTM. • Consecutive heat-treatment of multiple samples. • Magnetic characterization and DSC of annealed and quenched ingots. • Powdering the ingots and polishing the powders after careful embeddings. • Grain size and grain distribution analysis for all the prepared samples.
Advanced research project based on the magnetocaloric properties of an alloy. The project contained thermo-mechanical and thermo-magnetic investigation on Ni-Mn-Sn suction casted heusler alloys. Besides that, I presented a seminar on additive manufacturing for the shape memory alloys.
Got professional grip on modeling and designing softwares especially on AutoCAD, SOLIDWorks and Blender. Took multiple projects for flyer, card and book cover designing.
