I am currently working as a Faculty in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Veermata Jijabai Technological Institute (VJTI), Mumbai, India. I have completed my Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Goa, India. The research work during my PhD was carried out under the supervision of Dr. Thaseem Thajudeen and Dr. Anirudha Ambekar. I completed my M.Tech in Thermal Science and Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur, India, under the guidance of Dr. Abhijit Guha. I have always been drawn to the idea of environment and sustainability, and I hope I can actively contribute to development in a sustainable manner. Therefore, my prime area of research interest lies in understanding the physics involved in efficient energy utilization during combustion of liquid fuels, reducing emissions and aerosol particulates from various combustion sources, where I can contribute to solving the crucial issue of air pollution.
