    KUMAR KUNAL Ph No.: 7135044627.E-mail: [email protected] Academic Qualifications • Pursuing Masters in Mechanical Engineering at University of Houston Current GPA: 4.0/4.0 • Graduated in May 2006 with B.Tech in Mechanical engineering from IIT Guwahati CPI (Cumulative Performance Index): 8.24 / 10 B.Tech Project Title – Modeling and Shape Optimization of Flexible Manipulator Proposed Work – The project had two main aspects- a) Numerical Modeling of the Manipulator to study its Dynamic behavior. b) Shape optimization of the Manipulator to improve the system performance. For the modeling purpose various numerical methods were explored. Mesh free method (MLPG) was tried out first but it was too time consuming. Finally FEM with a new type of shape functions were implemented for the modeling purpose. For Optimization purpose Sequential Quadratic Programming (SQP) was used. The manipulator was discritized into elements; the area of each was taken as the decision variable. We obtained profiles for the Manipulator, which showed a marked improvement in the system behavior. Guide : Dr. U.S.Dixit, Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, IIT Guwhati Duration: August 2005 – April 2006 Computer Skills • Programming language : C • Software Knowledge : Matlab, MS Office, Adams, Solid Edge Work Experience • Summer Intern, Indian Institute of Science (IISC), Bangalore. Work Summary - I worked on the design of a novel sun tracking system for solar power generation. In most of the traditional design, the receiver is attached to the concentrator. This is disadvantageous in the case of heavy receivers. I proposed a novel design of sun trackers with fixed receivers. The work was presented as a paper in the National Conference on Machines and Mechanisms (NACOM) 2005.

  • Ugad 1819.Pdf
    An initiative of Branding & Communications team of IIT Kharagpur and the students body Branding & Relations Cell led by Dean, International Relations. For more information contact: [email protected] I congratulate the Branding and Communications Cell of the Institute for this novel initiative. Students enjoy the learning experience best when they are challenged. I have often interacted with students, asking them what they thought was the best or worst in a class that they had just attended. And I have often been stumped by their replying that they thought they had “learnt nothing”. Why? I asked them. They said that they did not find the teaching challenging enough. This should leave no one in doubt that we should take another look at the teaching and learning process. Students themselves can be a part of this relook. I have often advocated for student-teachers, often letting them take my own class. The result has been phenomenal, making students involved learners. Only greater involvement on the part of students can ensure their learning. This does not have to happen inside the class always. Sports, extra-curricular activities provide their own challenges. I encourage students to take up these challenges. As these entries show, many of them have indeed taken them up, and realized their enormous potential and talent. Tap your hidden talents and energies. Take up challenges, get involved and enjoy the learning experience Every student is an achiever in his or her own right. Each of them has tremendous potential inside them, and if they pursue their passion with focus and hard work, they will reach their goal.

  • Click Here to Downlaod QIP Ph.D IITM Part of the Brochure 2020
    Dear Prospective QIP Scholar Your interest in the Quality Improvement Programme (QIP) sponsored by All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) is appreciated. The principle objective of this programme is to enhance and upgrade the expertise and capabilities of faculty members of the AICTE approved degree-level engineering institutions. The programme, launched by the Government of India in the year 1970, is now being implemented and monitored by the National QIP Coordination Committee (NQCC) funded through AICTE. There are three main activities under QIP scheme for the faculty of degree-level engineering institutions: • Providing opportunities to teachers of the degree-level engineering institutions to improve their qualifications by offering admissions to M.Tech. and Ph.D. programme. • Organizing Short Term Courses at the QIP Centres for serving teachers in various emerging areas of technology and research. • Curriculum Development Cell activities which helps to improve the classroom teaching and learning. These activities are undertaken by nine major QIP centres at IITs and IISc. Admission to M. Tech. and Ph.D. programme is also offered (in selected areas) in institutions recognized as Minor QIP centres. A large number of teachers from engineering institutions from all over the country have pursued M.Tech. and Ph.D. programme under this scheme. These activities are aimed at improving the standard and quality of technical education through improvement in the qualification of the faculty members of the various engineering institutions.
