      Acted as a liaison between the core committee of the team and sub-system members. Finalizing the designs of all the components designed by the subsystem such as Nosecone, Side pods, Firewall, etc. Mentored new recruits so that they learn the required technical knowledge. Primary role was to design and optimise the aerodynamic performance of student formula race car. Design and manufacture body shell, nose cone, side pods, wings, diffuser and make car look good. In short, work on Aesthetics of car.

      Shared my previous experiences with aircraft design and provided guidance to the team whenever they had difficulties during the design cycle 2020­-21. - Established a team, in the college, which will compete in Aircraft Design Challenge conducted by AIAA every year. This team will give freshmen and sophomores in the college, an opportunity to explore Aircraft Design.- Managed the complete design of the aircraft for 2018-­19 and 2019­-20 cycle. Planned the timeline and delegated the task to various subsystems. Ensured a proper communication between various subsystems.
