About
I am an Aerospace Engineer, PhD Candidate, and Assistant Professor at Silver Oak University, Ahmedabad, with over 3 years of experience in CFD simulation, aerodynamics, propulsion, and experimental aerodynamics. I specialize in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) using ANSYS Fluent, SolidWorks, CATIA, and custom Python/JavaScript-based solvers.
As the Founder & CEO of Vyadh Aerospace Pvt. Ltd., I lead multidisciplinary aerospace R&D, CFD consultancy, and STEM education programs. My research spans deflagration-to-detonation transition (DDT) in hybrid rockets, hypersonic aerodynamics, supersonic inlet design, and microbubble dynamics in propulsion and biofluid systems.
I have authored 30 research publications in top journals including Physics of Fluids (AIP), npj Microgravity (Nature Portfolio), and Applied Thermal Engineering, with 198 citations, h-index 8. I have presented at NASA HRP Investigators Workshops and AIAA SciTech, Aviation, and ASCEND forums.
Recipient of the AHA Paul Dudley White International Scholar Award 2025 and NASA Spaceline Recognition 2025.
I offer expert CFD analysis, aerodynamic design, rocket propulsion consulting, ANSYS simulation, SolidWorks/CATIA modeling, and aerospace education services to clients worldwide.
