– Architected formal SysML-based system representations across Requirements, Use Case, Block, and State Machine diagrams to model multi-agent, multi-layered systems operating under uncertainty – Derived and validated quantitative complexity metrics (cyclomatic, and UCP-based) to support architectural trade-off decisions in early design phases – Engineered a Java-based complexity computation framework parsing SysML XML outputs from TTool, enabling automated, repeatable structural and behavioral complexity assessment – Applied structural information and behavioral abstraction techniques to support system planning and requirement allocation across UAV and autonomous platforms – Co-authored two peer-reviewed publications on SysML model complexity measurement, contributing novel metrics frameworks to the MBSE research community

– Executed gap analysis across the Airbus Business process within Airbus's Business Management System (BMS), identifying non-conformities against EASA, EN9100, and ISO 9001 standards – Strengthened ABP-BMS requirements traceability by restructuring process definitions, controls, and evidence flows, improving audit readiness and regulatory robustness – Authored and deployed a compliance framework manual governing Means of Compliance (MoC) management for Airbus Business Requirements, including a formal RASCI matrix for all process actors in the requirements cascade – Coordinated cross-functional compliance reporting with DOA, POA, and CAMO teams, standardizing QMS governance and closing 26% of identified process coverage gaps between ABRM and POM documentation

– Led system definition, MBSE-based modeling, and verification planning for a multi-subsystem CubeSat mission involving ground, onboard, and environmental segment interactions – Structured, allocated, and traced requirements across onboard systems using MBSE methodologies, ensuring full coverage and bidirectional traceability from mission-level to subsystem-level – Applied system-of-systems reasoning to resolve interface conflicts between environment, onboard logic, and ground segment, supporting non-deterministic operational planning – Delivered cross-functional collaboration across an international, multidisciplinary team, aligning stakeholders on requirement allocations and system verification evidence

– Performed system-level functional analysis and architecture definition for a 25 kg hydrogen-powered UAV with distributed electric propulsion. – Supported requirements definition, derivation, and allocation across propulsion, avionics, and energy storage subsystems – Facilitated sprint planning and system integration using Agile/Scrum, improving delivery timelines – Coordinated multi-disciplinary subsystem integration and reviews, ensuring requirements alignment and design traceability across mechanical, avionics, and propulsion teams.

– Developed a high-fidelity Finite Element Analysis (FEA) model using ABAQUS to simulate delamination propagation for a Boeing 747 composite wing spar under cyclic gust loads. – Applied VCCT and Paris Law within a direct cyclic analysis to predict crack propagation rates and identify dominant failure modes. – Optimized structural integrity by evaluating the impact of various ply orientations on energy release rates and dominant failure modes. – Achieved 97.6% simulation accuracy by validating numerical results against theoretical Double Cantilever Beam (DCB) fracture models.

– Led a multidisciplinary team conducting user-centric, lean research on sustainable waste management solutions in rural India. – Led field studies and community co-design workshops, identifying key user requirements and delivering deployable eco-energy prototypes adopted by local stakeholders.
