Hi, I'm Hemanth. I am a postdoctoral fellow at CFDLAB Technion, directed by Prof. Steven Frankel. I love fluid mechanics and mathematics. I enjoy taking on focused challenges that allow me to dive deep into a problem and learn a wide range of new concepts along the way. Not long ago, in the midst of a war, I completed my PhD thesis at Technion. On a daily basis, I go to lab, read stuff, write code, debug, and work together with colleagues. My research interests include: high-speed flows, numerical methods for compressible Navier-Stokes, supersonic jet noise, shock wave dynamics, and Physics informed machine learning.

Prior to Technion, I was a a master's student at the Indian Institute of Technology Madras (India) in Dr R. Sriram and group, where I performed wind tunnel experiments (Mach ≈ 3). In particular, I focused on '3-D Shock Boundary Layer Interactions'. My M.Tech thesis primarily focused on designing a suction-based control strategy to mitigate the unsteadiness in 3D-SBLIs. I also had a great opportunity of working with Dr. Nagabushana Rao in developing a high-order finite difference-based wall distance solver.
