Research Vision

My research activity is predominantly in the area of ―Heat Transfer Optimization and its applications. Provision of artificial roughness to enhance the heat transfer coefficient and its CFD analysis are focus of my research work. The emphasis of my research work is to provide useful information to researchers and utility developers related to heat transfer by addressing the methodology for conceptualization of heat transfer optimization and development of correlations for solar thermal systems.

I also recognize the importance of recruiting, motivating, and preparing graduate students to make research plans a success. In particular, I am committed to my responsibilities and safe conduct of research and to recruiting from a diverse pool of budding research scholars. I plan to quickly develop positive working and mentoring relationships to enhance both my own and my student’s success.
