ABHIMANYU T V
Research Scholar | CFD Engineer | Mechanical Engineer | NDT Inspector
Research Scholar at IIT Madras
I am Abhimanyu T.V., and I am currently pursuing a Ph.D. at IIT Madras under the guidance of Dr. Prasad Patnaik BSV in the Biofluid Mechanics and Heat Transfer Lab. My research focuses on the complex dynamics of cardiovascular and computational study of Extracorporeal membrane oxygenator, merging the fields of fluid mechanics, Engineering Design and biomedical engineering.
My educational journey began with a Diploma in Mechanical Engineering from Govt Polytechnic College Muttom (2012-2015), where I acquired essential technical skills and developed an interest in mechanical systems. Through lateral entry, I completed a B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering at Mahatma Gandhi University Kottayam (2015-2018), deepening my knowledge of mechanical principles and engineering applications.
After graduation, I gained significant industry experience as an NDT inspector at Advanced Technical Services in Kuwait. I worked with prestigious clients such as Equate, KNPC, KOC, KIPIC, and SEPCO 3 during my three-year tenure at ATSi. I specialized in various Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) techniques, including Eddy Current Testing, Long-Range Ultrasonic Testing (LRUT), Eddy Current Surface Inspection, and Pulsed Eddy Current Inspection. This role enhanced my practical skills and provided a solid understanding of industrial applications and quality assurance.
Driven by a passion for research and innovation, I pursued an M.Tech in Thermal Engineering at Cochin University, Kochi. It was during my master's studies that I developed a keen interest in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) while researching bluff body aerodynamics. I immersed myself in learning various open-source and commercial CFD tools, which enhanced my analytical capabilities and technical expertise. In 2023, I started my Ph.D. journey at IIT Madras under Dr. Prasad Patnaik B.S.V., I am delving into the complexities of fluid mechanics as it applies to biofluid mechanics. My current research aims to uncover new insights and develop innovative solutions for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular conditions, leveraging advanced CFD techniques.
My fluid mechanics expertise, hands-on industry experience, and advanced biomedical engineering research position me at the forefront of innovative solutions for cardiovascular problems.
