Profile Summary

I am a highly skilled mechanical engineer with 9 years of academic research experience spanning thermal science, porous media physics, and biomedical science. My doctoral studies, funded through a prestigious scholarship in Australia, focused on biomedical fluid mechanics, with a particular emphasis on the development of mechanical circulatory support devices such as ECMO. After completing my PhD, I now seek to bring my learnings and passion back to my homeland, India. I have extensive expertise in the following areas: • CFD Simulation: Performed computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations related to fluid flow and heat & mass transfer using ANSYS Fluent on high-performance computing systems. • Experimental Design: Designed and fabricated experimental setups for conducting hydraulic experiments. • Flow Visualization: Proficient in designing and conducting particle image velocimetry (PIV) experiments - a flow visualization technique utilizing high-speed imaging. • 3D Modelling and Printing: Skilled in 3D modelling using SolidWorks and 3D printing. • Data Analysis: Expert in post-processing experimental data using MATLAB and Python. • Silicone Casting: Experienced in fabricating transparent test models via silicone casting techniques for flow visualization experiments. • Scientific Communication: Authored research papers published in Wiley and Wolters Kluwer journals, delivered presentations at national and international conferences, and prepared research proposals for funding agencies like NHMRC, TPCH Foundation, and SERB. • Systematic Reviews: Competent in conducting systematic reviews. I have experience working on interdisciplinary projects and collaborating with professionals from diverse backgrounds.
