As a master's candidate in Mechanical Engineering at McGill University, my expertise in fluid dynamics and passion for problem-solving converge. My project, focusing on piezoelectric synthetic jet actuators, significantly improved aerodynamic efficiency and maximized axial discharge velocity. My role extended beyond simulations; I actively contributed to designing enhanced actuator models, driving advancements in sensor cleaning applications. Teaching Assistant roles have honed my ability to convey complex concepts in conceptual design, enriching the learning experience for future engineers. At McGill, I've leveraged my foundational skills in computational fluid dynamics and CAD modeling to facilitate student comprehension and provided critical support in curriculum design and implementation, grounded in my prior experience at MITRA PRECISE FORGE PRIV LIMITED.
In this project, I worked on numerical simulations of piezoelectric synthetic jet actuators designed for sensor cleaning applications using PowerFlow, a Lattice-Boltzmann Method (LBM) based solver. Key contributions include: Simulated the cyclic inflow and outflow of air by imposing a sinusoidal signal on actuator membranes, enabling direct performance comparisons between three actuator designs. Achieved an 11.3% increase in maximum axial discharge velocity and a 5.22% improvement in aerodynamic efficiency over the baseline model. Analyzed flow-field data using PowerVIZ, and leveraged SolidWorks to design improved actuator models based on simulation results, significantly enhancing performance. Utilized the Unix terminal to submit and manage computational jobs on a high-performance computing cluster (Beluga Cluster), reducing design iteration time. Prepared SBATCH scripts for job submission via SLURM scheduler, ensuring efficient use of HPC resources.
Assisted the professor in designing and implementing curriculum for the Mech 292- Conceptual Design course. Conducted weekly discussion sessions, workshops, and tutorials to reinforce key concepts (basics of Arduino, Select and use appropriate design methods, problem definition and solving techniques) and facilitate student comprehension. In addition, graded assignments, exams, and projects, offering constructive feedback to help students improve their work. Furthermore, held office hours to provide additional support and clarification for students requiring extra assistance.
