University of California Berkeley
Master of Engineering in Mechanical Engineering 23'
I am a Mechanical Engineer at Biosphere, where I ideate, design, and prototype bench-top bioreactor systems. With a Master's in Mechanical Engineering from UC Berkeley, I have a robust foundation in mechanical principles and product design. I am a technology enthusiast with a keen interest in sustainable solutions and human-centered design.
My industrial experience is diverse and impactful. During the COVID-19 pandemic, I contributed to developing low-cost PSA oxygen concentrators for the Indian government, significantly enhancing their efficiency and reducing their size. I also have experience in the fabrication and assembly of PSA oxygen plants, leading my team to achieve sustainable designs.
Previously, I worked at Blue Goji on the development of an omnidirectional treadmill integrated with VR, aimed at treating Parkinson's and Alzheimer's. This project aligns with my commitment to engineering solutions that have a societal impact. In addition to my hands-on experience, I have conducted research on Fluid-Structure Interaction using open-source tools, aiming to reduce the computational costs associated with these studies.
I hold a BS in Mechanical Engineering from the Manipal Institute of Technology, MAHE. I am also expanding my knowledge in machine learning and statistical analysis to address complex engineering problems. My dedication to product design and sustainable engineering solutions underscores my commitment to making a positive impact in the field of Mechanical Engineering.
