Work experience

Summer Research Intern at National Institute of Technology Rourkela, May 2025 - Jul 2025 · 3 mos, Rourkela, Odisha, India, Research Intern | National Institute of Technology, Rourkela Project Title: Utilisation of HEC-RAS for River Flow Problems. During my research internship at NIT Rourkela, I contributed to a project focused on simulating flood behavior using HEC-RAS, a widely adopted hydraulic modeling tool. The objective was to analyze river flow characteristics under various return periods through 1D steady-state hydraulic modeling. My responsibilities included pre-processing terrain data, delineating river cross-sections, and integrating GIS datasets to develop accurate input models. I conducted hydraulic simulations to evaluate water surface profiles, assess flow distribution, and identify potential flood-prone areas. This comprehensive approach helped in understanding the hydraulic response of rivers under varying conditions. Through this experience, I developed a strong foundation in hydrologic and hydraulic modeling, enhanced my proficiency in HEC-RAS and GIS tools, and gained practical insight into their application in flood risk assessment and water resources engineering.
