## Selected evidence

- ThermOcean: led a 20-person team developing a marine-energy-powered desalination platform modeled at 28,600 liters per day, with a projected 51% reduction in levelized water cost. The project won Best Build & Test honors at the 2026 DOE Marine Energy Collegiate Competition. https://samarthrastogi.com/projects/thermocean/
- Electrical machines: reverse-engineered an interior permanent-magnet synchronous motor with a MATLAB-Lua-FEMM workflow and validated FEA torque against an analytical dq model. https://samarthrastogi.com/projects/electrical-machines/
- Microsystems packaging: thermal, mechanical, and electrical simulation work covering solder microbumps, advanced packaging, signal integrity, and chip cooling. https://samarthrastogi.com/projects/microsystem-packaging/
- Manufacturing: trained more than 400 Purdue mechanical-engineering students per semester on shop processes and design for manufacturing. https://samarthrastogi.com/projects/machine-shop/
