About

I am a thermal-fluid scientist and engineer specializing in phase-change heat transfer, two-phase flow, flow instabilities, and advanced thermal management. My research integrates physics-based modeling, nonlinear stability analysis, computational fluid dynamics (CFD), and experimental investigation to understand complex thermal-fluid phenomena and develop predictive tools for energy-efficient cooling and thermal systems.

Currently, I am a Postdoctoral Associate at the University of Calgary, where I investigate the dynamics and heat transfer of gallium-based liquid-metal droplets through experimental studies and CFD modeling. Previously, as a Postdoctoral Research Associate at Purdue University, I conducted research on microchannel flow boiling, oscillating heat pipes, and closed-loop thermosiphons. My work combined theoretical modeling, numerical simulation, and experimental validation to investigate flow instabilities, thermal-fluid interactions, and heat transfer performance, with applications in electronics cooling and advanced thermal management.

I earned my Ph.D. in Energy Science and Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (IIT Bombay), where I investigated nonlinear flow instabilities in single- and parallel-channel two-phase systems with compressible volumes. My doctoral research examined Ledinegg instability, pressure-drop oscillations, and flow excursions, contributing to the understanding and prediction of dynamic instabilities in multiphase thermal-fluid systems.

My broader research interests include electronics and data-center cooling, renewable and solar thermal energy, battery thermal management, and thermal energy storage. By connecting fundamental thermal-fluid science with computational modeling and experimental validation, I aim to advance reliable, sustainable, and energy-efficient thermal technologies.
