About

I am a Post-doctoral research fellow (IPDF) at the Department of Mechanical Engineering, IIT Bomaby. I have completed my Ph.D from IIT Kharagpur. My present research area is splitter plate-based (both passive and active) flow control of two cylinders in tandem arrangement. I am also working on the development of a Flexible Forcing Immersed Boundary scheme-based One-Step Simplified Lattice Boltzmann Method (FFIB-OSLBM) solver for two-dimensional fluid-solid interaction problems.
