Ashton D'Souza

Dynamic and result-oriented Mechanical Engineer currently pursuing master’s in Aerospace Engineering with an aim to build a strong foundation in the field of design and engineering. Proficient in CAD software, FEA, CFD, programming languages and project management with a proven track record of leading projects from concept to completion. 

With a Mechanical Engineering degree and a Master’s in Aerospace Engineering, I have gained extensive experience in various engineering roles. At UltraTech Cement, I contributed to engineering change management and risk analysis, where I played a key role in process optimization and design validation. My time at the Aditya Birla Science and Technology Centre allowed me to work on cutting-edge technologies and gain insights into advanced manufacturing and research applications. At Clear Water Solutions, I was involved in material selection, FMEA, and quality assurance, contributing to improvements in manufacturing processes and system performance. I have utilized CAD software (AutoCAD, SolidWorks) and simulation tools (ANSYS) for 2D/3D modeling, stress analysis, and system optimization, with a focus on efficiency and sustainability. I am passionate about applying innovative engineering solutions to real-world challenges in aerospace and mechanical design, with a strong commitment to continuous improvement and product development.

I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering from BITS Pilani, Dubai, where I gained a solid foundation in core mechanical engineering principles, including thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, and material science. During my time there, I excelled in project-based learning, working on various hands-on design and analysis projects.

I am currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Aerospace Engineering at the University of Leeds, where I focus on advanced topics such as turbine engine design, aerodynamics, and gas turbine combustion. My academic journey includes projects like hydrogen gas turbine combustor design and drone development, where I apply simulation and modeling tools like ANSYS, SolidWorks, and AutoCAD to solve complex engineering problems.
