Research Interests

Projects

• During his first year at ASDL, Chandrashekar was a part of the Manufacturing Influenced Design (MInD) team for his Grand Challenge project taken up under The Boeing Company. The project involved developing a methodology to incorporate detailed manufacturing constraints into conceptual and preliminary design in order to reduce initial investment, risk and cost. The project involved a complete re-design of the F-86 wing-box structure using composite material.

• He also works for the META-II project for DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) as part of his sponsored research. The project aims at developing model based design methods for complex and heterogeneous systems using hierarchical abstractions and systems engineering techniques. This project will create a new approach for the design and development of air and ground military platforms.
