Intern, Boilers & Turbines, Tuticorin Thermal Power Plant, India.Dec’ 99-Feb’ 00
* Designed and developed the “Finite Element Analyzer”, a Software Package in C language to
analyze trusses using the Finite Element Analysis algorithm.
* Analyzed the Turbine Stator with the package and designed a new stator with half the weight than
the one previously used (Reduced weight by 40 tons).
Intern, SGJ Academy of Automobiles, India.May 1999
* Trained as a Service Personnel to troubleshoot and diagnose engine problems, disassemble and
reassemble engines correctly, repair and overhaul engine components and perform preventive
maintenance and tune-ups.
Intern, Hydraulic Machines Lab, Greaves Limited, India.Dec 1998
* Designed using AutoCAD, a varying speed Tandem Roller that works on different soil density by
supplying counter weights inside the roller.
