WORK EXPERIENCE
IAV Automotive Engineering Inc., Northville, MI May 2016-December 2016
Calibration Optimization Intern (OBD, Diesel Systems Unit)
• Model based development of OBD monitors, analyzing the error in the model, developed algorithms based on
mathematical tools and techniques to automatically produce a near optimal calibration for OBD monitors
• Developed optimization algorithms to reduce error in model from 23% to just 5.47% hence increased the robustness
from 2 sigmas to 4.5 sigmas of an OBD monitor (CSERS) also reduced the calibration time from 2-3 weeks to 3-4 hours
by applying mathematical optimization techniques
• Developed new software logic for more robust control of OBD monitor (CSERS)
Tata Motors Limited, Lucknow, India August 2014-June 2015
Assistant Manager (Commercial Vehicle Manufacturing Unit)
