Overview:

During the final semester of my undergraduate program, I interned at the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). In particular, I worked with the Thermal Systems Group at the U R Rao Satellite Centre (URSC) [formerly known as ISRO Satellite Center (ISAC)]. During my time there, I developed a computational module in C along with a classmate of mine. We wrote a program to calculate the view factors (a quantity essential in radiative heat transfer calculations) between obstructed surfaces. I presented this work as my Bachelor’s degree thesis. Moreover, our work was also presented at an international heat transfer conference the following year.
