About

I graduated with a Doctoral degree from the Department of Mechanical Engineering of the Indian Institute of Information Technology, Design, and Manufacturing Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh, India (IIITDMJ) where my research particularly focused on the experimental & modeling study of solar dryers. Currently, I am working as a Scientist at the Agency for Science, Technology, and Research (A*STAR). Also, I worked as a Research Fellow at IIT Jammu, working on the fluidized bed (multiphase flow) modeling and simulation for the CFD study using Fluent and Mfix software. I am also working on ML & CFD-DNN, ANN, and AI that accelerate the computational effort. I specialize in drying technology, pharmaceutical drying, fluidized bed drying, solar drying, and thermal energy storage with a keen interest in sustainable energy solutions. I am actively exploring the potential of fluidized bed drying and utilizing computational fluid dynamics for enhanced efficiency. During PhD, I focused on drying technology and dried product preservation using renewable heat sources such as solar energy. where I developed a new solar dryer device for small-scale users, farmers, and households. I am especially interested in understanding the CFD, AI, product development, industrial solutions, and drying techniques of pharmaceutical and food products.
I am committed to contributing to impactful research and seeking collaborations to drive innovation in sustainable energy and drying technology. I would also like to learn new skills and explore other research domains in the future.
