Hello,

Turbulent flows have piqued the interest of many for ages, as is known by Leonardo da Vinci's famous painting. The chaotic nature of turbulence makes it an incredibly difficult subject to study. So much so that Dr. Werner Heisenberg remarked that, if he were allowed to ask God two questions, they would be, “Why quantum mechanics? And why turbulence?”. 

My research work is primarily focused on Transitional and Turbulent fluid flows. The research involves performing experiments and computation and further, some sophisticated and advanced analysis of the acquired data such as feature detection, multi-scale method, and dimensionality reduction.

I have experience with experimental data acquisition using hot-wire on a flat-plate boundary layer and a planar jet. Further, perform a time-series analysis on the acquired velocity signal using Fourier and wavelet transforms. 

I also have computational experience, wherein I have used an open-source Fortran code called "Xcompact3D" to perform Direct Numerical Simulations of a channel flow. The simulations generate huge amounts of data. I have experience in writing Python codes to process "Big Data" using parallel programming techniques with MPI.
