Dissertation: Design of the drivetrain system for a vehicle concept ‘Emiura’

• Decided the power-train type for the proposed concept vehicle based on the expected performance parameters.
• Designed the components of the drivetrain, including the electric propulsion system.
• Validated the design with engineering calculations and scientific justifications.
• Created a CAD model of the system to tackle challenges related to component packaging in the vehicle chassis.

Propulsion Systems Research Project: Designing an alternate propulsion system for a pre-existing vehicle

• Aim - To propose a new propulsion system, for a pre-existing vehicle, to reduce its life-cycle carbon emissions.
• Achieved a 60% decrease in emissions by replacing ICE with a hydrogen fuel cell electric propulsion system in Ford S-Max (an estate class vehicle).

First Class Honors

Thesis: Design of an electric vehicle with an integrated wind turbine for power regeneration

• Helped ease the range anxiety associated with electric vehicles (EV) by increasing the regeneration of energy, hence increasing EV adoption by consumers.
• Designed the wind turbine and made a 3D CAD. Further, integrated it into established electric vehicles in the market like Tata Nexon EV and MG ZS EV. Hence, formulating a commercially viable design.
