R. V. College of Engineering, Bangalore (www. rvce. com) securing the 7th rank among 2000 mechanical engineering students in the Bangalore University. As part of the curriculum requirements, I worked on the analysis of Wildhaber-Novikov gears for defense applications. The project was adjudged as one of the best projects in the college and was awarded maximum marks during evaluation (for a description please visits www. members. tripod. com/ybnaga/wngears. htm). As an undergraduate, I had the opportunity to be exposed to Rapid Prototyping.
I took up an extensive study on this class of processes, its role in the product development cycle, its limitations and the future. This resulted in a technical review paper entitled "Rapid Prototyping … The Future is Wow! ". I won many prizes when I presented it at various technical seminars (th
...e entire paper is available at www. members. tripod. com/ybnaga/rp. htm). Soon after graduation, to continue my interest in rapid prototyping, I joined Advanced Product Design and Prototyping (APDAP), at the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore as a CAD Engineer.
My responsibilities at APDAP were CAD, 3D Modeling & Reverse Engineering. One of the major projects that I worked on was the reverse engineering of a fuel tank cap assembly for General Motors, U. S. A. I also got an opportunity to make a presentation on the applications of rapid prototyping in mold making at a workshop for the plastics molding industry. I am keeping myself abreast of the latest developments in rapid prototyping. While working on CAD packages, I wanted to know the techniques used to store, display and manipulate the entities in these packages.
Thi
helped me in developing a strong interest in geometric modeling and computer graphics. At present, I am working on the problem of automatic construction of 3D solid models from 2D orthographic projections at the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore. I am implementing an algorithm for auxiliary views, section views and curved entities using the Hybrid approach. In this context, I am studying geometric modeling and reviewing existing literature. I am also learning 'SHAPES', a geometric modeling kernel that I will use during this project.
I have been fortunate to have had expertise in various programming environments and developed good programming skills. I have written over 17000 lines of code while programming for educational software, small utility software, database management and the internet. To help me in my ongoing projects, I am auditing the "Data Structures and Algorithms" and "Internet Technologies" courses at the Indian Institute of Science. During the next semester, I will be auditing the "Computer Graphics" and "Geometric Modeling" courses.
I have had an unique opportunity of teaching. Over the past 2? years, I have been conducting tutorials on computer programming, algorithms, basics of computer graphics & animation, and general usage of computers. I have developed learning aids, course material, quizzes and tests. Regular feedback from my students have consistently rated my teaching skills to be of a high caliber. Teaching has not only enhanced my programming skills but also built up my communication skills (for details, please refer to my biodata).
I would like the masters program to provide an opportunity to extend my expertise in geometric modeling for CAD, computer graphics or programming issues in rapid prototyping. It
is my desire that my accomplishments from my M. S. degree would be the stepping stone for my doctoral studies. I have gone through the web site of your department and I am aware of the facilities available at your institution. If provided an opportunity to join your department, I am confident that, I will come up to the challenge of exploring the topics of my interest and contributing to your ongoing research activities.
