Heat and Mass Transfer

Dr. Sushma M Puranik M.Sc., Ph.D.

Welcome to my Homepage

I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics at RV Institute of Technology and Management (RVITM), Bengaluru, since 2022. I hold a Ph.D. from Visvesvaraya Technological University (VTU), Belagavi, and an M.Sc. in Mathematics from Bangalore University, where I secured 5th rank. I completed my B.Sc. with 2nd rank from Bangalore University.

With over 15 years of teaching experience and around 10 years of research experience, I have taught and contributed to academic institutions including Vemana Institute of Technology, Nitte Meenakshi Institute of Technology, and ACS College of Engineering, Bengaluru.

My research focuses on mathematical modeling of fluid flow in doubly connected regions, with particular emphasis on heat and mass transfer phenomena. I work on developing analytical and numerical solutions using techniques such as conformal mapping and advanced numerical methods to address complex boundary value problems arising in engineering and applied sciences.

I am particularly interested in bridging theoretical mathematics with real-world applications, including transport phenomena, thermal analysis, and flow behavior in complex geometries. My work aims to contribute toward more accurate and efficient modeling approaches relevant to engineering systems.

I have published 6 research articles in reputed international journals indexed in Q1 and Q2 categories, reflecting the quality and impact of my research contributions
