CHRISTOPHER SATHIYA SATCHI

About

I completed my PhD from Anna University, titled “Experimental Studies on Evacuated Tube CPC Solar Collector Coupled with Cascaded Latent Heat Thermal Energy Storage for Water Heating Applications”. I published more than 10 high impact papers. My research interest mainly focused on Thermal energy storage, Solar thermal and Solar PV, Electric vehicles and Net zero buildings. I have a working experience of six years in a research project funded by DST-CERI titled “Role of nanotechnology in augmenting the thermal performance of a solar collector system integrated with PCM-based energy thermal storage for space cooling application”. During the project period, I was involved in the design and purchasing of scientific equipment for building the experimental setup. Additionally, I have proficient in various computational tools, including OPENFOAM, MATLAB, PYTHON, CATIA, NX CAD, PRO-E, AUTOCAD, TRACE PRO, COMSOL-Multiphysics, ANSYS and TRNSYS.
