I am a scientific researcher in the field of fluid dynamics. I am researching a wide range of flow problems including the flow physics involved in the hypersonic/supersonic leading-edge separation, mixing process inside an annular subsonic combustor, hypersonic inlet buzz, supersonic jets/ejectors, confined supersonic flows, transonic cavity flow noise control, and shock-laden flow control.

My areas of research interest broadly include experimental/computational gas dynamics, aeroacoustics, flow control, fluidic devices, fluid-structure interactions, thermo-fluids, hypersonic aerothermodynamics, mixing flows, wind/shock tunnels, high-speed imaging, energy conservation, advanced optical flow diagnostics like PLMS, PIV & PLIF, data-driven techniques, and digital image processing.

My works are published in many reputed peer-reviewed journals and received accolades from several international conferences. I am an active reviewer in several physics and engineering journals. Recently, I have been awarded as ‘the Top Reviewer’ in Engineering and Cross-Field by ‘Web of Science’.

My Recent Interview in The Interview Portal

In day-to-day life, many events are unfolding in front of us. As a researcher, it gives me immense satisfaction to be a person who can understand the physics behind those events, at least to certain extents. The ideas that pop up in my mind whenever I want to control/replicate a physical process on different scales always make me feel alive. However, the Job does not fill you with joy, always. Pitfalls are expected. When you get stuck in a dead-end, it can be really frustrating. But life is not easy for anyone. So, I have learned to live with my share of success and sorrows.
