  Summer Intern

  I worked under professor Ashwin G. Kothari of ENTC department of VNIT,Nagpur collegeAnalysed the problems faced by differently-abled people while doing various activities such as reading books such as turning pages, reading the text etcProposed different mechanisms to automatically turn the pages taking minimal response from the user, also to lift the book to an appropriate angle as per user's comfortPrototyped a 180-degrees turning mechanism that uses wooden arms installed with suckers that holds the page while turning it only taking a minimal haptic feedback from the user Show less

  Inito

  Jul 2020 - Sept 2022

  Researched the existing system to find physical parameters that were affecting the illumination profile and introduced noise to the output. Came up with various concepts/ideas that could help improve the final output and validated them with rigorous simulations in Zeemax/Ricktu. Designed the testing setup with 3D printed jigs/fixtures, supporting electronics, optical components, light sources and image-capturing devices. Controlled the LEDs using Arduino, captured the images and processed them using Python to compare the simulated and experimental data. Image stitching and background subtraction were the final two ways that improved the SNR by 40‑50% Show less Responsible for analyzing requirements, developing specifications, creating design models, 3D printing components, and technical drawings. Worked closely with CFTs such as SDEs, and manufacturing personnel to ensure designs meet project requirements and are feasible to produce. Prototyped designs using 3D printing, CNC machining, & and other fabrication methods to validate designs before moving into production. Tested and validated designs to meet safety, performance, and reliability requirements, and conducted FMEA to identify potential issues.• Projects: PCB testing/programming fixture, SKU Packaging/weight reduction, Device qualification Jig (EoL), Lens qualification jig, Optic qualification jig, Strip assembly jig, ECN Documentation, Production quality requirements, making SOPs, Pull‑out tab Show less
