Rajiv Chaturvedi’s research and working experience span a number of fields. His Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Mechanical Engineering were earned from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Kanpur, India. For the Master’s, he conducted experimental research work in Thermal and Fluid Engineering. He carried out his Ph. D. research at IIT, Bombay, India. This research deals with analytical and computational work to solve certain wave field problems in fluids using the so-called Non Reflecting Boundary Conditions (NRBC).
His work experience has been mainly related to Software Development, which includes all phases of Software Development Life Cycle, various programming languages, platforms and tools, and ranges from software development to design to interaction with clients for requirements gathering. His software industry experience has been in the fields of CAD/CAM and ERP; recently he has joined a company in the business of developing Operational Support Systems for telecom industry. He has been exposed to Quality Processes in software industry, and has been involved in setting up processes and structures in one of the projects he has been involved in.

AISSCE = All India Secondary School Certificate Examination (conducted
by the Central Board of Secondary Education, India)
Research Topic in M.Tech. :
Augmentation of Heat Transfer
using in-line propellers (Experimental work). (1
Paper Published)
Research Field in Ph.D. :
Computational Fluid Dynamics
(CFD). (3 Papers Published, 1 communicated)
Research Topic in Ph.D. :
Study of Non Reflecting
Boundary Conditions ( NRBC ). The Ph.D. project consisted of formulating,
analyzing and applying Non Reflecting Boundary Conditions to achieve small
size of the spatial domain in which we want to solve governing partial
differential equations for a wave field numerically. The equations considered
are compressible Navier Stokes equations and linearized wave equation.

Experience Summary
In reverse chronological order:
2. Tata Consultancy Services, Bombay, India: As Assistant Consultant, from March 1998 to March 2000. Involved in a variety of activities, viz.: (1)Software Engineering (2)Oracle Applications training at TCS Corporate Training Center at Malad, Bombay, (3)an Information System and Technology Plan study for the Bilakhia group of companies, India, (4)on-site at Cummins Oil Engines, Inc., Columbus, Indiana, USA, devising structures and procedures for production support of Oracle Applications modules implemented at their Southern Indiana plants, (5)technical support to marketing, (6) sitting on panels for recruitment interviews. Exposure to quality procedures, systems, metrics, and documents, and to CMM was gained during the course of work with TCS. ( http://www.tcs.com ).
4. Gas Authority of India Ltd., Baroda and Dibiyapur (India): Work on the construction site of UP Petrochemicals Complex, the gas cracker plant of GAIL. GAIL is the Public sector Company that handles natural gas distribution in India. The construction project mentioned above was being handled for GAIL by Engineers India Limited, and GAIL personnel worked in supervisory capacity.
5. Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur (India): Setting up of experimental project later converted to M.Tech. Thesis. This experiment investigated heat transfer augmentation in cross flow heat exchangers by the means of in-line propellers placed in the flow. No external supply of energy was provided for these propellers. The flow caused them to rotate, thereby creating swirl and causing better heat transfer. Other researchers later continued the work with fluids other than water that had been used by me. I was employed as a Senior Research Associate in this project, later I converted this work into my Master of Technology thesis. ( http://www.iitk.ac.in/ )
6. Kinetic Technologies India, New Delhi (India): As a Design Engineer, the main responsibility was design of process equipment. The design involved use of codes like ASME, TEMA and Indian standards. I developed some software to automate the calculations being done there manually. One problem I worked on also required vibration analysis of a heat exchanger. Also Trained draftsmen in use of a drafting package (Cascade). Hence I helped moving the company from manually generated drawings to computerized ones.
7. I have undertaken small private ventures, viz., training of
students/draftsmen on CAD packages like AutoCAD, and training of representatives
of Machbow Pumps (Pvt. Ltd.), Suyog Industrial Estate, Vikhroli, Mumbai,
India, in design of small centrifugal pumps.
1. With Eftia OSS Solutions: Ongoing Interaction with the personnel from the parent Canadian (Ottawa) company during the course of executing the day-to-day responsibilities.
2. With Computervision: The CAM group was headed from UK; projects undertaken were for customers from the Airbus consortium and Rolls Royce. Close interaction with group members from UK and with the clients was required.
3. With Tata Consultancy Services: Worked at Cummins Engine Co., Inc., Southern Indiana operations, Columbus, Indiana, USA on one of the projects.
Teaching Experience :
1. Lab classes and answer-sheet correction of undergraduate students as Teaching Assistant during M. Tech. and Ph. D at IIT, Kanpur and IIT, Bombay.
2. Conducted training as part of the job responsibilities for TCS.
3. Conducted training as part of the job responsibilities for Computervision.
4. Conducted training as part of the job responsibilities for KTI.
5. Taught software packages and design of centrifugal pumps as a personal enterprise (please see item no. 6 above).
