About

Mechanical Engineering researcher specializing in heat transfer, fluid mechanics, thermal management, and computational fluid dynamics (CFD). My research focuses on experimental and numerical investigation of thermal-fluid systems, including jet impingement cooling, oscillating jets, high-speed flows, and wind tunnel aerodynamics. I have experience in developing experimental facilities, infrared thermography, flow visualization, CFD modelling, and experimental validation. My research interests include advanced cooling technologies, aerospace thermal management, turbomachinery, flow control, thermal energy systems, and sustainable energy technologies.
