About Narendra Ramakrishna

I hold a Master\'s in Aerospace Engineering with Mechanical specialization from the University of Dayton and a Bachelor of Engineering in Aeronautical Engineering from SJC Institute of Technology. My educational background includes coursework in Finite Elemental Analysis, Compressible Flow, Fundamental Aerodynamics, principles of Corrosion, CFD, Continuum Mechanics, and Renewable Energy Systems.I have gained valuable experience in the field through my roles, working as a Product Design & Development Engineering. Where I am responsible for new program development and launch of automotive components. I excel in reviewing component drawings for design suitability, and project management, and utilizing design software like CATIA V5 & V6, Corel DRAW, and AutoCAD.In addition to my professional experience, I have worked as a Teaching Assistant at the University of Dayton, where I provided instruction in Fluid Mechanics and assisted students with design and analysis projects. I\'ve also completed internships at Hindustan Aeronautics Limited, gaining experience in material testing, quality control, and process optimization.Furthermore, I\'ve demonstrated my engineering skills through various projects, including the analysis of dimple designs on golf balls and the development of a morphed airfoil. My proficiency includes 3D modeling, SolidWorks, CATIA, Abaqus, and ANSYS, among other design and analysis tools.I am also equipped with strong analytical and problem-solving abilities, and I hold certifications in CATIA V5 Surfacing, SOLIDWORKS 2022 Essential Training, SOLIDWORKS Surfacing, and Introduction to Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing.Overall, I bring a combination of academic knowledge, hands-on experience, and a diverse skill set to contribute effectively to Aerospace, Mechanical and engineering projects.
