What I'm looking for

I am looking for research or engineering roles applying CFD, numerical algorithm development and HPC in collaborative teams with strong technical mentorship and impactful simulation challenges.

I am a M.Tech (Research) student in Aerospace Engineering at IISc Bangalore focused on computational fluid dynamics and development of robust numerical algorithms for compressible flows.

I designed and implemented a novel, positivity-preserving and entropy-stable upwind kinetic scheme based on a compactly supported bi-linear distribution function and extended it to a second-order accurate kinetic scheme tested on multiple 1D and 2D benchmark cases.

My background includes a BE in Mechanical Engineering, internships in additive manufacturing and jigs & fixtures, and academic projects developing Euler solvers using finite volume methods and comparing multiple numerical schemes using C++.

I work with C, C++, Python, MATLAB, CATIA, ANSYS and libraries such as NumPy, Pandas, SciPy, Scikit-learn and TensorFlow; I seek roles where I can apply CFD, numerical methods and high-performance computing to solve challenging fluid-dynamics problems.
