I have completed my Masters in Aerospace Engg. from IIT Kanpur. My thesis work involved designing of the experimental set-up, implementation of the novel visualization and image processing techniques, to investigate the initial conditions and geometric three-dimensionality effects on the Taylor–Couette Flow. I was associated with the Flow and Thermal simulation team, Eaton India Innovation Center, ensuring 4 years of industrial experience. I have mainly worked in the computer aided designing of the airframe pumps (Centrifugal and Jet), with a specialization in the Multiphase Modelling. I have patented a novel high-efficiency Jet Pump design as a part of my industrial projects. I am also trained in DFSS. Under IITB-Monash PhD program, I am currently working on Co-pyrolysis/co-gasification of bio-mass and plastics, with focus on the experiment work as well as CFD simulation. This research work will help to build future generation sustainable energy solutions. Apart from studies I take interest in art and painting (learning for 3 years), reading books, watching foreign-language movies, listening to music and practicing Yoga. I have been exploring different lifestyle options to promote sustainable living. Also, I am a pet lover and basically a cat-person.
