At Intelimek Systems Pvt Ltd, I work on CFD modelling for a team-developed digital twin of a pharmaceutical spray dryer, covering gas flow, heat and mass transfer, and particle behaviour. I also built a CFD model of a pharmaceutical tablet coater to characterise flow and spray behaviour.
At IISc Bangalore and IIT Hyderabad, I assessed biomass and RDF gasification routes for low-carbon DRI production and modelled a coal fluidized bed gasifier. The work included an international collaborative project on steelmaking infrastructure and waste supply chains.
At IIT Kanpur and MNRE, I designed, tested, and optimised a bubbling fluidised bed pyrolysis reactor for converting oily sludge into valuable products. I also built an Ansys Fluent model of a fixed bed biomass torrefier.
My project work includes validating a CFD model of a downdraft biomass gasifier against experiments, studying plasma-assisted methane reforming, and simulating particle separation in a cyclone. I bring simulation and experimental work together across pharmaceutical processing, thermochemical conversion, and industrial decarbonisation.
