An early experience as an intern at Indian Institute of Technology Madras (IIT Madras) was crucial in shaping him towards pursuing a career in computational research. As it was his first time working in a research laboratory, it was a valuable experience. This helped him realize that research does not always yield positive results, it is an iterative process, in which hurdles are often encountered. According to him, one must remain patient and focused to overcome these obstacles. The same applies to any other phase of life! This experience followed by a short in I.C. engines development intrigued him towards the very nature and unpredictability of turbulent flows. He was quite fascinated to see that turbulent flows are not just restricted in engines but flows around us in air and water are almost exclusively turbulent. His postgraduate study at IIT Madras helped in gaining a fundamental understanding of the topic.
Excited about the Edison Engineering Development Program and the perks of working with different teams on diverse industrial problems, he joined GE Renewable Energy. His first rotation in the System Value Optimisation team was quite rewarding where he led IEC based post-processing of loads through an special purpose review involving a global team. He was further excited to learn about the importance of turbulent flows on the wind turbine dynamics and control. Continuing in the field, he pursued his second and third rotations at GE Research where he was involved in high fidelity multi-body dynamics modelling of wind turbine to understand system response. Here, he has worked on aeroelastic instabilities, machinery vibrations and loads analysis. Further, he has joind the wind aerodynamics team at LM Wind Power for his fourth rotation in the Edison program. He is currently focussed on CFD simulations for airfoils and understanding the impact of airfoil polars on wind turbine loads and performance.
He relishes the support and opportunities provided by the GE family. Apart from the rotations, the pseudo rotations in the form of A course (technical courses on wind and hydro energy) and B course (professional development courses) is what he is excited about. He is looking forward to solving problems of industrial relevance with a view of making fundamental and practical impact. He wishes to contribute towards advancement of technologies in wind energy to make the world a cleaner place for tomorrow.
Outside of work, he loves to travel, trek and shoot the moments behind the lens. He likes to commute on his motorbike for inter-city travels.
