Biosketch
My major interests are in teaching and research activities centred broadly in Fluid-thermal area. I offer UG and PG courses to students across various semesters. My research involves understanding combustion and general fluid phenomena through laser diagnostic techniques. I have a keen interest in developing novel techniques for laser based measurements as well

Research
My research work is focused on studying combustion through simple experiments and laser diagnostic techniques in addition to modelling of combustion phenomena through open source CFD codes. Currently our group works on soot modeling in laminar jet diffusion flames and laminar opposed jet diffusion flames. Research work is also centred around using optical techniques to study flames and to obtain information on flame stabilisation, fuel flexibility in gas turbine combustors and fuel reforming through partial oxidation
