About

I am a computational research professional with a PhD in Mechanical Engineering, specializing in molecular dynamics simulations, nano-lubricants, advanced coatings, and engine emissions analysis. My work bridges scientific research and industrial applications, delivering insights that support energy efficiency, sustainability, and chemicals market innovation.
During my research, I have:
• Modelled and analysed hybrid nano-lubricants (Graphene, MWCNT, SiO₂) using LAMMPS, Material Studio, VMD, and OVITO to optimize engine performance, friction reduction, and emission control.
• Conducted nanoindentation and tribology studies, visualizing atomic-scale wear mechanisms to improve lubricant durability and surface interactions.
• Evaluated PVD and CVD coatings under industrial machining conditions, providing actionable insights for materials selection, tooling performance, and green manufacturing practices.
I am skilled in computational modelling, experimental characterization (SEM, nanoindentation, tribometry), and data-driven research reporting, with publications in Q1 and Q2 journals and presentations at international conferences.
