About
I am a Senior Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Engineer and Industrial R&D Consultant with extensive experience in fluid flow, heat transfer, combustion modelling, thermal management, and engineering simulation.
I specialize in delivering simulation-driven engineering solutions for automotive, aerospace, energy, HVAC, EV battery thermal management, and industrial applications.
My technical expertise includes:
CFD simulations using ANSYS Fluent and CONVERGE CFD.
Fluid flow, turbulence modelling and heat transfer analysis.
IC engine combustion and piston thermal analysis.
Combustion modelling for hydrogen, diesel and scramjet applications.
Thermal management and cooling system optimisation.
HVAC, building ventilation and energy-efficient building design.
Industrial furnace, kiln and process equipment simulations.
CFD post-processing, validation and technical reporting.
I have gained valuable industrial R&D experience through the AICTE Industry Fellowship at Volvo Group India, Bangalore, working on diesel engine combustion and piston heat-transfer modelling using CONVERGE CFD.
I am also an active researcher with expertise in CFD-based modelling, numerical simulation and research-driven engineering optimisation. My research contributions have been recognised in the Stanford/Elsevier World's Top 2% Scientists lists (2023–2026).
I am interested in collaborating with engineering companies, product developers, startups, research organisations and international clients to solve complex engineering challenges through reliable, cost-effective simulation solutions.
Let's transform engineering challenges into optimised, simulation-driven solutions.
