Dr Asisha Ranjan Pradhan combines experimental investigations and CFD-based modelling to study complex fluid transport phenomena. He has designed and commissioned lab-scale test setups, conducted erosion wear studies, and optimised slurry flow systems. His research contributions include multiple SCI/SCIE journal papers, book chapters, and a patent. Beyond research, Dr Pradhan actively contributes to the academic community as a reviewer for leading international journals and as an organiser of conferences and workshops. His broader academic vision is to advance sustainable and energy-efficient fluid transport systems.
