Experience
- Worked on the development of an autonomous river bodyboard with a rudder-controlled navigation system and water-flow propulsion aimed at achieving real-time monitoring of river health and environmental data collection.
- Successfully designed and developed a drone (UAV) equipped with thermal and multispectral cameras for agricultural applications, specifically targeting precision farming.
- Successfully completed a SERB-funded project entitled “Design and Development of Autonomous Surface Vehicle for Bathymetry Applications” under the supervision of Dr. Sujit P.B.
- Object Detection and Decision Making on 4-Legged Unitree Go 1 Robot using RGB and Thermal Camera.
- Successfully designed and developed an autonomous electric rickshaw to promote sustainable and eco-friendly transportation in urban India.
- Designed and manufactured precise wafer probes for micro-level examination of flexible integrated circuits with minimal negative impact on the device under test (DUT) by utilizing 3D printing, tungsten pins, and a customized mechanical structure.
- Worked with the Central Institute of Agriculture Engineering, Bhopal (CIAE) to create an Autonomous Weeder that uses AI, sensors, and cameras to detect and remove weeds from crops without damaging them by employing advanced algorithms and precision tools.
- Set-up an agile and low-cost indoor autonomous swarm test-bed with multiple quad-copters to facilitate the testing of algorithms for autonomous guidance strategies.
- Deployed BlueROV2, an underwater Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) from Blue Robotics to inspect and monitor ports, harbours and vessels, inspect pipelines, locate underwater targets, and explore the depths of water bodies.
- Built and improved an autonomous off-road rover named ’Hound’ by establishing electrical connections, addressing mechanical issues, and integrating computer vision sensors.
- Prototyped a portable low-cost Oxygen Concentrator device as a part of IISER Bhopal’s efforts towards handling COVID-19.
- 3D model optimization and slicing for 3D print production with 3D printer hardware including FDM, SLA technologies.

Underwent Apprenticeship Training for one year where I was associated with Indian Mission Project of
“Advanced Ultra Supercritical (AUSC) 800MW Steam Turbine” in Research and Development group of Steam
Turbine Engineering (STE) Department.
- Carried out Coupled Structural and Thermal FEA in Steady-State and Transient Conditions on Turbine Equipment’s such as Inner Casing, IP Inlet Connections etc. and to optimize the generated results.
- Managed all phases of the design process for a multitude of products, components, parts, assemblies and sub-assemblies, including drafting, dimensioning, tolerance, prototyping and documenting results.
Wad worked with Vivetto Systems Private Limited, Gurgaon as a Site Engineer at NTPC’s 250 MW Solar
Power Plant.
- Follow up with Supervisors and check completion work and timely raise inspections and coordinate with consultant/client for approval.
- Before consultant/client inspection, conducting internal inspections for MEP works and reporting to concerned project supervisor for rectification of works.
- Responsible for incoming materials inspection along with a client representative.
- Ensure all logs are updated, daily monitoring the Project Activities.
Education
2012–2016
Bachelor of Technology in Mechanical Engineering
Dr A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Technical University, Uttar Pradesh - Mathura, India
Percentage:
68.66 %
2012
AISSCE, CBSE, Class XII
Amarnath Vidya Ashram Sr. Sec. School - Mathura, India
Percentage:
69.16%
Projects
Computational Fluid Dynamics
Computer-Aided Design
Aerodynamics
B.Tech Project: Analysis of Advance Aerodynamics Changes (GENERIC BUMP) in Aerospace Industry Using CFD
I was part of a team whose aim was to investigate the effects of generic bump in a fighter aircraft and its application as a boundary layer diverter (BLD) and compression surface for a Diverterless Supersonic Inlet (DSI). The task was to divert as much of the boundary layer as possible or prevent the boundary layer from entering the inlet of an aircraft by using generic bumps. Properties such as pressure recovery, boundary layer diversion, surface flow, change in Mach number and mass flow are the major parameters that are being analysed.
