About Vaibhav Khanna

As a research aide at The Luminosity Lab, I collaborate with a multidisciplinary team to design, simulate, build, and test mechanical systems for various innovative projects. Currently, I am working on the NASA Big Idea Challenge as a designer, focusing on Ansys Simulations. This experience has enhanced my skills in problem-solving, critical thinking, and teamwork.In addition to my research experience, I have also gained valuable insights into management, marketing, sales, and consumer behavior through my internship at Ashok Leyland. I completed a project in benchmarking and consumer behavior, handling two of the company\'s major clients. Furthermore, I have hands-on experience with multiple manufacturing robots from renowned robotic companies such as ABB, KUKA, Fanuc, and Motoman-Yasakawa. These experiences have broadened my understanding of the industry and equipped me with practical skills in robotics and automation. I am currently pursuing my Master\'s degree in Mechanical Engineering at Arizona State University, where I am further developing my knowledge and skills in this field.
