Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, India
As an Aerospace Engineering student at IIT Kanpur, I have a proven track record of academic excellence and diverse extracurricular achievements. My journey began with outstanding performance in competitive exams such as JEE Advanced (AIR 3081) and JEE Main (AIR 3186), complemented by being a district topper in both 10th and 12th grade CBSE board exams with 97% and 95.97% respectively. My passion for learning is reflected in my high scores in GUJCET, VITEEE, and NTSE, along with numerous accolades in Olympiads, including 10 gold and 2 silver medals. My academic prowess is matched by my skills in programming (Python, C), AI development, and proficiency in software tools like DaVinci Resolve and Unreal Engine 5.3. As a game developer and regular YouTuber, I blend technical expertise with creativity. Additionally, my fluency in English and Hindi, along with my capabilities as a novelist and poet, showcase my strong communication skills. Beyond academics, my interests span across science fiction, astronomy, music, dance, and various forms of art, such as origami and painting. I have led multiple clubs, participated in international events like the Model United Nations, and contributed to community activities at IIT Kanpur, including Antaragni'23 and Galaxy'24. My career aspirations are deeply rooted in space exploration. I aim to work at NASA or SpaceX, or establish my own startup in the field, post a Master’s degree in astrophysics from renowned institutions like MIT, Harvard or CalTech. My drive to explore the cosmos is fueled by a lifelong passion for science fiction and a relentless pursuit of knowledge. I believe in the power of hard work and determination. My educational philosophy centers around the idea that persistence and passion can overcome any obstacle. Despite facing skepticism about the Aerospace Engineering field, I remain committed to my goal of becoming a leading figure in space exploration. Currently, I hold a key position of responsibility at IIT Kanpur as the Associate Head of the Astronomy Club. This role has honed my leadership, organizational, and teamwork skills, further preparing me for future challenges. With a strong foundation in academics, a diverse skill set, and a clear vision for the future, I am eager to contribute to the field of aerospace engineering and make significant strides in space exploration.
I am very excited for this journey, that I have always dreamt of...
I successfully completed an intensive Winter Internship Technical Training Program with India Space Lab (ISL), focusing on the intersection of Space Science and Advanced Engineering. Throughout the program, I executed four major technical projects, demonstrating proficiency in aerospace design, redundant system architecture, and flight physics. Key Specializations & Projects: Advanced Drone Technology: Recreated a research-grade Cessna 210 (NASA Variant) using OpenVSP. Engineered a hybrid design utilizing the NASA NLF(1)-0414F airfoil to optimize Natural Laminar Flow while maintaining strict geometric compliance with 3-view specifications. Rocketry Science: Designed and optimized a high-power single-stage rocket using OpenRocket. Conducted 6-DOF simulations to achieve a target apogee of 1000m+ while maintaining a static stability margin of 2.23 calibers. CanSat & CubeSat Satellite Programs: Developed a dual-redundant avionics architecture featuring independent Primary and Secondary MCUs. Designed for mission-critical fault tolerance by ensuring zero sensor/actuator sharing and implementing mechanical redundancy for parachute deployment. Remote Sensing & Disaster Management: Explored the applications of GIS and Satellite Imagery in monitoring and mitigating large-scale environmental challenges.
