ABOUT ME
I work as Systems Engineer in SP Scientific, a division of SP Industries based in Gardiner, NY. Some of the interesting works that I do at SP includes modelling Lyophilization processes, and numerical simulations of compressible water-vapor flow in vacuum for commercial lyophilizers.
I graduated with my Ph.D. degree in Mechanical Engineering in July 2017 from University of North Carolina at Charlotte. My Ph.D. dissertation work involved fully compressible, multiphase, shock-driven ‘Richtmyer-Meshkov' instability in metal-vacuum configuration to study flow of molten metals in vacuum under extreme conditions. This problem is of direct relevance to experiments performed at Los Alamos National Laboratory, and one of the significance of this work is- comparison of simulation results with experiments.
Recently, I have taken up an adjunct faculty position in SUNY New Paltz. Some of my research interests include Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), Lyophilization process modelling, turbulence modelling, and thermal & heat transfer analysis for variety of engineering problems.

Compressible multi-phase flows
For my Ph.D. dissertation, I performed detailed simulations of shock-driven, multiphase ‘Richtmyer-Meshkov’ (RM) instability at ejecta conditions.

Lyophilization
At SP Scientific, I investigate various processes in Lyophilization. Some of my interesting works include modelling of Lyophilization processes, and numerical simulations (CFD) of compressible water-vapor flow in vacuum for commercial lyophilizers.
Turbulence Modelling
I have performed detailed 3D simulations of Turbulent flows using DNS and ILES modelling.
