About

My research focuses on addressing critical challenges associated with hydro turbines, including efficiency losses, silt erosion, cavitation and flow instabilities. By combining computational fluid dynamics (CFD) with experimental validation, I aim to develop solutions that can enhance performance, improve reliability, and extend the lifespan of hydropower systems. Looking forward to connecting with researchers, industry experts, and professionals working in the fields of hydraulic machinery.
