Dr. Ragesh Kapadia

About

Ragesh G Kapadia, born and brought in a city of Bharuch situated at the most pious river Narmada. I did my schooling from government school in Guajarati medium and destined to Ahmedabad for doing my Bachelors of Engineering in Mechanical. I was fortunate to get placement in L& T from campus. Posted at L&T Hazira @Surat. Returned to Bharuch in 1997 by joining academic institute as a lecturer. The journey for upgrading knowledge started in 2000 when I first joined Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi for MTech Program in Energy studies. I was Inspired by Prof S C Maulik and Prof S C Kaushik and their guidance gave me an opportunities for getting DAAD scholarship to Germany. I did my dissertation at University of Stuttgart at Germany under the guidance of Prof M Groll on Metal Hydrides Heat Pump. I did my PhD on Transient simulation of Split AC using R22 and R410 A as refrigerants. Received O P Gupta Medal for securing highest CGPA during M Tech. I have a loving wife Jigisha and two son Adi and Yug. My mantra of Life is Together We Can.....
