Personal Website

Experience

  • Jan to May 2018, Senior Teaching Assistant | Indian Institute of Technology Dharwad, India (mentored by IIT Bombay)
  • Mar 2011 to Dec 2012, Assistant Professor | BVBCET, Hubli, India
  • July 2009 to June 2010, Research Intern (during M. Tech) | Computational and Theoretical Fluid Dynamics (CTFD) division, National Aerospace Laboratories, Bengaluru
  • Feb 2007 to May 2008, Graduate Engineer Trainee | Siemens VDO Automotive AG (presently Continental AG) R&D department, Bengaluru, India

Research Interest

  • Experimental investigation of Heat transfer and Fluid flow in Monodisperse and Bi-disperse Porous media.
  • Experimental study of Heat Transfer Enhancement using IR(Infra-Red) thermography technique in Porous media packed channels with fluid flows having higher Prandtl number.
  • Thermal Energy Storage (T.E.S) capability of channels with randomly packed particles and comparison with analytical solutions.
  • Experimental study of Fluid flow characteristics of Monodisperse Porous media.
  • Further intending to explore Granular flows, Understanding biological flows using the Porous media approach, Cooling of electronics equipment (passive methods) and Turbulent flows.
  • I am also interested to explore the application of CFD methods for getting insights on flow fields inside the porous media using commercially available / open source codes such as FLUENT / OPENFOAM etc. leading to numerical validation of the experimentally obtained results.
