About me:
Namaste! I’m a postdoctoral researcher at the prestigious Engine Research Centre (ERC) at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where we're pushing the boundaries of sustainable transportation solutions. My research journey before ERC led me to the Engine Research Laboratory (ERL) at IIT Kanpur, India’s top-tier lab and among global leaders in research of Internal Combustion Engine Technologies.
My research lies in exploring advanced combustion techniques for alternative fuels for IC engines, particularly focused on Hydrogen. Recently, I've started working on battery thermal runaway for Li-ion batteries, primarily used in electric/hybrid vehicles. I am dedicated to clean and efficient transportation technologies that drive us toward a greener future.
When I'm not occupied with research-related stuff, you might find me roaming around, observing society and people’s behaviour, reading literature/poetry (mostly in हिन्दी), listening to music, or just on social media.
