Bio
Dr. Paresh Halder received his Bachelor's in Mechanical Engineering, Jalpaiguri Govt. Engineering College, Jalpaiguri, West Bengal, India. He obtained his Master’s degree and PhD. from the Department of Applied Mechanics with specialization Fluid Mechanics and Ocean Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology Madras, Chennai, India in 2011 and 2020 respectively. During his PhD., he worked on “Design Optimization of a Bidirectional Flow Air Turbine for Wave Energy Conversion”. After completing his PhD., he continued to work as an institute postdoctoral researcher for a few months.
In September of 2016, he joined Mechanical Engineering, College of Engineering, Sultan Qaboos University, Muscat, Oman as a Post Doctorate research assistant, where he worked on “Numerical Analysis Visualization and Experiment Measurement of Capillary-Driven Blood Flow Micro-Channel Mixing”. His study was based on the numerical analysis to understand the blood flow behavior within the stenosis by incorporating two-way fluid-solid interaction (FSI).
In July of 2017, he joined Ocean Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology Madras, as a Post Doctorate fellow where he worked on an “Automated Optimization Framework for Turbo-Machinery Design”. The role of this project is to develop the automated optimization framework using commercial software ANSYS.
In January of 2018, He moved to Okinawa, Japan, and joined as a Post Doctorate fellow where he worked on “Breaking Ocean Wave Energy Converter” at Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Graduate University (OIST), Japan. The role in this project to develop the theoretical, numerical, and experimental solution as well as understanding the performance characteristics of a wave energy conversion device which will be used for many small WEC turbines for harnessing the power from the ocean surface wave. The device is more suitable for a small island where electricity cost is very high and not connected to the power grid.
In March of 2020, He moved to Saga and joined as a Post Doctorate fellow where he is working on a “Floating Body Pendulum Wave Energy Converter” at the Institute of Ocean Energy, Saga University, Japan.
Dr. Halder’s research interests spread in vast areas; Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), Fluid Machinery, Wave Energy Device, Hydrodynamics Modeling, Oscillating Water Colum, Gas turbine film Cooling, Bio-fluid, Hydro-Turbine Application, and related other fields.
