Research & Patents

Tire blowouts at high speed are one of the most dangerous driving scenarios, often leading to loss of vehicle control and severe accidents. This patent addresses that challenge with a mechanical stability control system designed to maintain directional stability when a tire fails suddenly.

The mechanism was invented and developed as part of a university-funded research project at SSN College of Engineering, Anna University. The invention went through the full patent process including design, prototyping, and filing with the Indian Patent Office.

This project demonstrated my ability to identify real-world safety problems, engineer practical solutions, and navigate the intellectual property process — skills that translate directly into the problem-solving approach I bring to consulting engagements.

Conducted research under the supervision of Dr. Jamie Fairbrother and Dr. Matthias Ehrgott at Lancaster University's Management School, investigating multicriteria optimization problems in e-commerce contexts.

The research explored combinatorial optimization solutions — problems where you need to find the best combination from a finite set of possibilities — and compared approaches on both classical and quantum computing platforms. This involved formulating mathematical models, implementing optimization algorithms, and benchmarking performance across different computational paradigms.

Working with two leading researchers in the field provided deep exposure to the frontier of optimization theory and its practical applications. The experience reinforced my ability to formulate complex real-world problems as mathematical optimization models — a skill I apply directly in my consulting work.
