  • Designing, drafting and analyzing structural steel connection using softwares such as AutoCAD and MATHCAD.
  • Communicating with supervisor, contractors, detailers, Engineering of Record etc. to ensure that steel structures for the buildings can be fabricated and erected in safe and most efficient manner.

Research Engineer

Atlas Energy Ltd. Co
Columbia, SC
07.2023 - 01.2025
  • Developed methods to estimate geotechnical and geophysical properties of the subsurface (ex. Porosity, Shear Strength etc.) implementing machine learning techniques.

Adjunct Faculty Instructor

University Of South Carolina
Columbia, SC
01.2023 - 05.2023
  • Taught graduate course, Advanced Structural Mechanics and Analysis (Finite Element Analysis): Taught formulation of Finite Difference Methods, Variational Principles, Finite Element methods and applications of Finite Element Methods to different structural engineering problems. Course Instructor for the undergraduate course, Computational Methods in Civil Engineering, Mechanics of Solids.

Graduate Assistant

University Of South Carolina
Columbia, SC
08.2017 - 12.2022
  • Formulated and developed a novel, versatile, robust and rapid non-iterative algorithm based on the substructure approach, thus retaining the advantage of solving smaller subsystems a time step compared to the monolithic approach, while alleviating the disadvantages of traditional substructure approach which is iterative in nature and may require significant computational effort for slow rate of convergence of the solution or may even diverge in some cases. Implemented the general algorithm using MATLAB to simulate dynamic interactions between train and the structure in both 2D and 3D.
  • Reduced 37.5 % of the simulation time for dynamic interactions for a simple system such as a sprung mass travelling over a bridge.Reduced 86.8 % of the simulation time for dynamic interactions for a train travelling over a bridge with respect to the solutions obtained using ABAQUS on basis on number of contact points of the system.
