Research
Experience
Ph.D. Thesis Project: Development of high-resolution embedded element based 鍖nite element model
of the human head with axonal tractography in ABAQUS. Advisor: Reuben H. Kraft, Ph.D.
 Created high-quality hexahedral meshes of the human head using ANSYS ICEMCFD.
 Developed a composite based high-resolution (anatomical and multi-scale) model of the brain tissue to
capture anisotropy using the embedded element technique in ABAQUS.
 Performed extensive veri鍖cation/validation to demonstrate the credibility of the 鍖nite element analysis.
 Developed explicit dynamic simulations of the head model with embedded axonal tractography subjected
to extreme loading conditions, to investigate their structural response and understand brain injury.
 Developed blast (shock) loading simulations, in ABAQUS, of the human head model showing evidence
of axonal injury due to skull 鍖exures (bending vibrations).
 Implemented the embedded element technique using C++ and MPI based parallel programming
 to address volume redundancy limitation in ABAQUS.
Other Projects:
 Electromechanical modeling of the axonal 鍖ber bundles in human brain using COMSOL and MATLAB.
 Modeling ballistic penetration injury in lower extremity using Material Point Method in Uintah.
 Design of robotic gripper mechanism by optimization of motor load torque variation.
Collaborated with two team members to develop an optimization model in MATLAB, and optimized robotic
gripper design and its CAD model in SolidWorks.
 Design and development of micro-hydraulic power generator.
Developed the model in SolidWorks and built the prototype using shop-instruments.
