ABOUT DISHA MOOLCHANDANI

Bridging the gap between Mechanical Engineering, Data Science, and Product Strategy.​I am a third-year B.Tech student at IIT Jammu with a unique \"T-shaped\" profile: a strong foundation in core engineering, reinforced by advanced skills in AI and business analysis. I don\'t just design systems; I optimize them using data and validate them with market logic. ​Core Competencies:​ R&D & Smart Manufacturing:I specialize in integrating hardware with intelligence. I engineered self-monitoring carbon-fiber sensors using co-extrusion 3D printing, successfully embedding continuous fibers to enable real-time structural health monitoring. ​ Data Analytics & Machine Learning:I build transparent, high-performing models. I developed a Predictive Performance Optimization System using LightGBM and Integer Linear Programming (PuLP), achieving a Mean Absolute Error (MAE) of 6.75. I prioritize interpretability, utilizing SHAP values to ensure model transparency. ​ Product Strategy & Feasibility:I align engineering execution with business goals. As a Research Intern at DRDO, I conducted techno-economic feasibility studies on Waste Heat Recovery technologies, evaluating the trade-offs between technical efficiency and cost-effectiveness for defense applications. ​Technical Toolkit:​Data: Python (Pandas, NumPy), SQL, LightGBM, Scikit-learn, Optimization (PuLP). ​Engineering: SolidWorks, ANSYS, CNC Machining, Additive Manufacturing. ​Soft Skills: Strategic Analysis, Cross-functional Communication, Leadership. ​Objective:I am actively seeking internship opportunities in Product Management, Data Analytics, or Mechanical Research. I bring the technical rigor to understand complex products and the analytical skills to drive their success.
