Awards
I have been awarded as "Incredible Female Inventor-2023" award, by 9magnetec IP & Research, Pune, India.
Ever since I can remember, I have been creative, curious and hard working. Growing up, I found a way to turn these virtues into a thriving career. I have been lucky to work on a variety of mind-blowing projects, meeting the most exceptional individuals along the way.
I have more than 15 years Teaching and research experience in the areas of Fluid and Thermal Engineering. My area of interest and research is 'Turbomachines'. The research activities carried out with an objective of providing immediate solutions to an engineering problem in hand. Some of the current research activities in the areas of thermal and fluid Engineering are performance improvement of centrifugal pumps and computational fluid dynamics and fluid dynamics.
The desirable prerequisites for any student wanting to carry out research with me must have had course in fluid dynamics, heat transfer and strong in mathematics in the areas of ordinary differential equation, Matrix algebra, Fourier Transform and Numerical Methods. Prospective students should have had adequate software experience in software packages like MATLAB, ANSYS and FLUENT.
