I always believe in Growing Through a process than going through a process.

Student Research Assistant at the chair of 
Institute of Mechanics and Fluid Dynamics, 
TUBAF, Freiberg
- Analysis on the influence of corner crack in the 3D 
model using ABAQUS. 
- Implementation of Python script to automate the 
analysis w.r.t the corner crack 3D model, with 
dimensions of the corner crack and the dimensions 
of the 3D model as a parameter. 
- Implementation of a parameter optimisation 
algorithm for optimising the Thermo-Mechanical 
fatigue model’s material parameters. 
- Sensitivity study for the Thermo-Mechanical fatigue 
model’s material parameters was implemented and 
documented (Numerical Simulation technique). 
- Implementation of python algorithm to generate 
data for the curve w.r.t its boundary condition. 
- Sensitivity study for the Boundary layer model’s 
material parameters was implemented and 
documented (Numerical Simulation technique). 
- Implementation of User Defined Material model in 
ABAQUS for Cohesive zone model using FORTRON. 
- Worked on XFEM simulation, for analysing the 
arbitrary crack growth using Abaqus. 
- Debugged the Developed Gainer’s Model in Python
