Relevant Work

Jan 2025 - Present

University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute

Graduate Student Researcher, Biosciences Group

• Engineered a pipeline to develop subject-specific FE model of lumbar spine (T12–L5) from CT scans by integrating AI based segmentation with MATLAB-driven morphing of validated FE mesh to investigate lumbar biomechanics in reclined seating. 

• Segmented cervical spine CT scans using Mimics and applied mesh morphing to map FE Mesh geometry from onto subject-specific anatomies, supporting statistical modeling across age, sex, stature, and weight. 

•  Contributed to parametric human modelling for adaptive safety, improving anthropometric fidelity in dummies and FE models for inclusive evaluations across ages 20-80 years.

Autoliv

Design Engineer, Engineering & Development- Seatbelts 

• Supported Autoliv Americas Tech Centers with CAD and engineering changes for OEM programs- Stellantis, Honda, GM, VW; managed parts, assemblies and EBOM in ENOVIA PLM.

• Developed parametric CAD models and remastered seatbelt assemblies and components in CATIA V5 with GD&T per ISO 2768-mK; developed gauges to support tolerance and quality control.

• Contributed to Team Feasibility Commitment (TFC) for retractor components with Japanese Tech Center; supported PPAP documentation for supplier localization.

•  Conducted over 1,500 miles of field testing, across South India to collect real-world motorcycle data, for potential vest-airbag deployment. Collaborated on calibration and impact-scenario analyses. 

Achievements:

• Developed an emergency egress seatbelt mechanism to enhance occupant evacuation in door-jam scenario.

• Initiated Kaizens to reduce carbon footprint (UN SDG 13) and digitizing CAD quality checks for parts and assemblies.
