Dr Munna Kumar

About

I am a researcher in thermal engineering and fluid flow. I have currently joined post doctoral from Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (India). My PhD thesis work focuses on the experimental study of advanced solar energy systems. My core expertise lies in photovoltaic/thermal (PV/T) technologies and membrane distillation. My research specifically targets Direct Absorption Solar Collectors (DASC), Spectral Beam Splitting PV/T (SBS-PV/T), and Solar Air Heaters. I am also experienced in the application of nanofluids for thermal management.
