I aspire to gain academic and research experience in the field of aerospace engineering and believe that the bachelor's program in Aerospace Engineering at Nanyang Technical University in cooperation with TU Munich offers me a good opportunity to learn and work with some of the most renowned faculty in these areas. I developed a keen interest in mechanical sciences, particularly in the areas of Finite Element Methods, Aerodynamics and CAD during my studies in Mechanical Engineering (B.Tech) at Amrita University, which evolved further when I joined Infosys as a Design Engineer. My undergraduate studies at Amrita University helped me to have an overview of the various study areas of mechanical sciences and further paved the way for me to find my research interests. It was my third year of engineering, I visited “Hypersonics and Shockwave Research Laboratory, IISc Bangalore”. There, I took the opportunity to observe cutting-edge research programs in the field of aerospace engineering and also the opportunity to verify the live demonstration of the functioning of the shock tubes used in aerodynamic tests, replicating the conditions in the sections of the jet engine turbine and also in biomedical research. The results of these experiments are used to determine various materials and designs that will be suitable for attenuating shock waves. It was this visit that provided insight into the complexities involved in designing an aircraft and its flight, and the opportunities I had in front of me to explore more and carry out research. Out of interest I had started to learn more about the different terminologies used in the aerospace field and gained information on Mach numbers, airfoils and flight controls.

Florian Holzapfel, Optimization of computer-aided design of modern turbo engine components by Eng. (FH) Stefan Weihard. I have also been closely related to the field of design and if I had a chance to work in that field, I believe it would be more than helpful to improve my practical knowledge. With a genuine desire to establish a mutually beneficial relationship with your college and also to make the most of all the opportunities afforded to me and to pursue my goals, I look forward to the favorable consideration of my candidacy.
