Summary

Result oriented marine engineer with 7 of experiences, in directing complex operations in merchant navy, possess excellent analytical skills, honed through work experience and masters studies. I have a keen interest in engineering principles, product design and customer support.

Experience

Sep 2013 – Feb 2015 MSc Student, (Erasmus Mundus degree program in naval architecture, www.emship.eu).

Internship,  Ship Design and Research Centre, Poland, www.cto.gda.pl.

• Participated in the model tests of ships and marine propellers in wave basin. 
• An energy efficient propulsion concept capable of satisfying IMO's EEDI regulation, was validated by a series of propulsion tests, in CFD code STAR CCM+ for a Master thesis work.
• Experienced with unsteady turbulent, incompressible & multiphase flow simulations.
  

Course work (Hydrodynamics, structural design & computational fluid dynamics). 

• Ship structural design and Von-Mises failure analysis based on loading conditions.
• Ultimate limit state analysis of ship structures based on various publications.
• Sea keeping analysis of a ship (BEM code Aqua-Plus) & a spar buoy (experiments in irregular waves).
• Inclining experiments and study of free surface effects with a model ship.
• Wageningen B- Series propeller selection and sectional drawings based on project requirements.
• Dynamic analysis of a fixed offshore structure (experiments in regular waves) to study preponderant forces and influence of water depth.
• Study of ocean wave hydrodynamics and sea state simulations in MATLAB.
• Wind tunnel experiments to study pressure distribution on a cylinder.
• Stress concentration analysis of drilled plates, structural calculations of beams in ANSYS.
• Turbulent flow over periodic hill, poiseuille flow and lid driven cavity simulations in Star-CCM+

Jun2005 – Jun2013 Marine Engineer (Anglo Eastern Ship Management, Bernhard Schulte Ship Management, Hong Kong).

(Worked in bulk carrier, product tanker, container & tug)

• Responsible for the operation and maintenance of, propulsion & auxiliary diesel engines (up to 77000 KW), air compressors, heat exchangers, PID controllers and auxiliary systems.
