Harinee S.

Experience

• Master Thesis Coloplast · Internship Feb 2025 – Jul 2025 5 mos Denmark • Analysed Coloplast’s extruder-corrugator setup for catheter throughput and manufacturability of packaging and sleeves.
  • Conducted simulation-based optimisation, proven experimentally, achieving ~50% mean throughput gain, peaking ~80%.
  • Designed and prototyped smooth-corrugated catheter packaging and pleated protective sleeves, setup-compatible.
  • Achieved leak-proof interlocking, packaging portability, sleeve sterility, usability, and confirmed manufacturability.
• Summer Project voestalpine · Internship Jul 2024 – Aug 2024 1 mos Italy • Worked with a multinational team of 7 to inspect end-of-life HPDC tools and conducted a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA).
  • Demonstrated remanufacturing reduced CO2 by ~62% and material costs by ~68% (€106k to €34k) versus downcycling.
• Bachelor Thesis Royal Enfield · Internship Jan 2023 – Jun 2023 5 mos India • Investigated fuel tank leakage in laser-welded pump bracket joints, identified 5-6 failures per 10 tanks.
  • Identified six weld defect types, mainly pinholes, through visual inspection and dye penetration testing methods.
  • Conducted DOE trials (Taguchi-GRA), validated welds with microstructural analysis (optical microscopy) and hardness.
  • Optimised laser welding parameters, reducing defects to ~1/10 tanks, improving first-pass yield and reducing downtime.
• Mechanical Design Intern ELGi Equipments Limited · Internship Jul 2022 – Aug 2022 1 mos India • Designed sheet metal frames and assembled Screw Air Compressors components, applied GD&T for manufacturability.
  • Created BOMs, detailed and exploded drawings of the compressor assembly and applied DFMEA for risk analysis.
