Openings
PhD positions are available. Interested candidates with a strong background in maths and physics and a deep interest in fundamental and applied fluid mechanics can email me.
For Post-doc positions, I can collaborate to submit applications to the ANRF-National Post Doctoral Fellowship
Projects are broadly related to transition to turbulence, stratified turbulent mixing, biologically generated mixing, interactions between waves and vortical motions, ocean response to the Indian monsoon, and ocean acoustics.
Students applying for internships can email me directly with a short description of their background and interests
Aditya worked on experimental drag calculations in an array of cylinders in channel flow (jointly with Narsing K Jha). He has just graduated and moved onto an Indian automotive industry
Amol worked on spectral decomposition of developed turbulent pipe flows. He has just graduated and moved onto a well-known energy industry to use his CFD skills
