About
I'm an Innovative Engineer 🕮
I am Manikandan R, a Mechanical Engineer with a solid academic background and a strong passion for engineering innovation. I completed my Bachelor of Engineering in Mechanical Engineering at the University College of Engineering (BIT Campus), Tiruchirappalli (2020 - 2024).
During my college tenure, I worked on a significant project involving underwater drones designed for corpse detection, aimed at supporting National Disaster Response Force. This experience allowed me to gain hands-on expertise in advanced design, simulation, and prototyping, while addressing a critical real-world problem.
I am particularly enthusiastic about design and simulation, with a focus on Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). I leverage cutting-edge engineering tools to analyze, optimize, and create innovative solutions to complex challenges. I am committed to ongoing learning and strive to contribute to projects that push the boundaries of engineering and technology.
