Neelotpal Dutta

I have joined the University of Manchester as a PhD student. Please check my research profile at UoM. This page will be updated soon...

I am a mechanical engineer. I have a Bachelor of Technology (Honors) degree from IIT Mandi. My major was in mechanical engineering (ME) with a minor in management. I am the recipient of the President of India Gold Medal and Institute Silver Medal in ME (IIT Mandi, 2020).

Research Intern, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore
(June-July, 2019)
Guide: Assoc.Prof. Yeo Joon Hock
I have worked as a research intern for 7 weeks during the summer, 2019 in Nanyang Technological University in Singapore. I was selected through the NTU-India connect programme. While working under the guidance of Prof. Yeo, I got the exposure of cardiovascular implants and their design and testing techniques. My main objective was to design a simulator for the calf muscle pump. I also designed the different parts of a mock circulatory loop (MCL) to test artificial valves.

Engineering Intern, Tata Boeing Aerospace Limited, Hyderabad, India
(December, 2018-February, 2019)
During this 8-weeks long internship at TBAL, I got the experience of the different types of works and procedures in a manufacturing industry. The TBAL produces fuselage for the Apache AH-64 helicopters. I was working in the tooling department where my objective was to understand the working mechanism of the pneumatic drilling/milling machines and suggest improvements in design to satisfy the desired characteristics. I also worked with the quality department where I was a part of the team performing the First Article Inspection (FAI).

Summer Research Fellow, Indian Academy of Sciences
(June-August, 2018)
Guide: Prof. Subhasis Bhaumik
This was my first experience of working in a lab outside my college. I was selected under the summer research fellowship programme of Indian Academy of Sciences . I got the opportunity to work under the mentorship of Prof. Subhasis Bhaumik at the mechatronics lab in IIEST, West Bengal. I worked on the design of an exoskeleton for the rehabilitation of the stroke survivors. (Check here! )

Some of the projects that I have completed are mentioned below:

Model and design a physical system (mock circulatory loop) to simulate the systemic load of a human circulatory system. The work involves selection of a model (mathematical), identification of parameter values and design of a physical system corresponding to the mathematical model

Solution of compressible flow inside a CD nozzle with shock formation. Implementation with Mac-Cormack scheme in Python.

We present the effect of different blood pressures in the deformation of the weakened arterial wall and also compare it with a normal artery.

Used ANSYS APDL to model and analyse the stress distribution in a 2D model of human hip joint.

The Project ‘Smart Village’ was aimed at conducting a study which would enable the administrators to quantify the ‘Smartness Potential’ of the villages of Himachal Pradesh.

The objective of the project was to develop the design of an exoskeleton for the upper limb rehabilitation.

The objective of the project was to develop a lower limb exoskeleton to augment load carrying capacity. Here, we used soft pneumatic actuators

This project was done during my first semester at IIT Mandi as a part of the course IC-150P. This program translates DNA sequences present in an input file to their corresponding protein sequences.

The objective of the project is to design a multi- purpose voice-controlled interactive robot. [It is a simple system build using readily available components and Arduino]
