Background

About Anan Joy Antony

As an aspiring aerospace manufacturing engineer, I have completed MSc. Aerospace Manufacturing at Cranfield where I am learning the fundamentals of Aircraft Assembly, Manufacturing Strategy, Manufacturing Engineering Systems, Operations Management, Supply Chain Management, Additive and Subtractive Manufacturing, Composite Manufacturing and Material Failure. A part of my Individual Research Project at Cranfield, I worked on reducing the mass of Commercial Aircraft Landing Gear by looking into potential design and material changes. I have completed Bachelor of Technology degree in Aerospace Engineering from the Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology (IIEST), Shibpur, where I have gained a solid foundation in structural design, finite element analysis, computational fluid dynamics, and manufacturing techniques. I have also applied my skills and knowledge in a two-month internship at Makenica Inc, a leading company in additive manufacturing solutions, where I worked on various projects involving FDM and SLA technologies, engineering drawings, and ANSYS Workbench simulations. I contributed to the design and optimization of complex parts and assemblies, and supported the production and quality control processes. I am currently working as a Research Assistant in Lightweight Structures at Cranfield University, working on the AIRBUS Landing Gear Grand Challenge Project, which aims to reduce the mass of the landing gear by 30%, with the use of Hybrid Materials and Structures.
