• Conducted comprehensive literature reviews on the friction stir welding of dissimilar metals, focusing on the mechanical and microstructure-property correlation of weld joints.

• Designed and executed the experiments using the tools such as on AutoCAD, Fusion 360, FSW CNC machine to weld the dissimilar materials, systematically varied process parameters to gather quantitative data for achieving maximum joint efficiency.

Systematically documented all experimental data, including FSW process parameters, temperature, characterization results, and mechanical testing outcomes. This organized dataset was crucial for building and validating the machine learning models used to predict the ultimate tensile strength of the welds.

• Processed and interpreted the data using advanced characterization equipment, including SEM, EDS, XRD, and EBSD, to investigate material mixing and microstructural evolution.

• Prepared and presented findings at the Thermec 2023 international conference in Vienna, Austria as well as Amalgum national symposium at IIT Madras.

• Assisted the Professor in conducting courses and examinations.

• Led weekly lab sessions to demonstrate and clarify the experiment protocols to a batch of 70 students.

• Contributed to large-scale industrial projects by performing detailed technical and financial valuations of plant and machinery, with asset values ranging from INR 150-200 Cr. 

• Prepared comprehensive valuation reports that integrated technical specifications, operational condition, and market value to deliver clear and actionable insights.
