    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.
