EXPERIENCE

Man Vehicles Lab, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, USA

· Fluid Helmet Liner for Protection Against Blast Induced Trauma, MS Project since Sept 2008

o Performed FEM (Abaqus) / CAD (Solidworks) of a helmet liner having channels filled with fluids.

o Designed experiments for model validation at a test facility at Purdue University.

o Co-presented one Conference paper. Submitted a Journal paper and a Patent disclosure.

· Earth Based Prototype for Google Lunar X-Prize, Course Project Sept 2008 - May 2009

o Designed (in a team of 5) the structure of the spacecraft and performed dynamic load analysis.

o Test flight was successfully conducted in June 2009. The group also presented a Conference paper.

· Enhancing the Benefits of Artificial Gravity with Exercise & Vibration, Course Project Mar - May 2009

o Designed (in a team of 5) a countermeasure to maximally stimulate antigravity muscles and bones that incorporated artificial gravity, exercise, and vibration on a centrifuge. Modeled one-legged and two-legged squats in 1-G.
