Akshaya Simha

As an assistant professor at Acharya Institutes, I teach and mentor undergraduate students in mechanical engineering, a field that I am passionate about and have a master's degree in. I have over seven years of work experience in the education sector, including a year as a project mentor at Bibox Labs, where I designed and delivered training programs on robotics, automation, and product development. I possess strong skills in MSC Adams, Python, and Visual Basic for Applications (VBA), which I utilize to create simulations, models, and reports for my teaching and research projects. My core competencies include curriculum development, student engagement, project management, and problem-solving. I am open to new opportunities where I can enhance my skills.
