This is kashoo...i have done my Bachelors in Mechanical Engineerg in 2001...& nowadays doing Masters in Mechanical Design Engineering(Last semester) in evening in Pakistan.
After my garduation ..I have worked for 1 year as a Development Engineer in Motorcycle Industry...& nowadays working in an R & D firm which works on LEO satellites...
In this Firm i have engaged in Structure Design & Development Department for last 2 years or so...
I have total work experience of almost 4 years in Design & development .

As i m moving towards completion of Masters...so now i m loooking forward to get a PhD in any foreign country
My hot areas of work are Static Analysis of Honeycomb Sandwich Panels, Dynamic Analysis(Modal, Harmonic ) of Honeycomb Sandwich Panels,Thermal Vacuum Testing of Honeycomb Sandwich Panels , Fabrication of Satellite Structure of Honeycomb Sandwich Panels etc.
Please guide me from where i should apply to get effective response
