Work Summary: CFD simulation for implementing selective catalytic reduction (SCR) technology in automobile exhaust systems for NOx and SOx capturing. Accomplishments: Successful design validation for Toyota, JLR, Hyundai, and BMW exhaust to maintain uniformity to achieve targeted NOx and SOx capture as per BS VI norms. CFD modelling of Exhaust Heat Recovery (EHRS) using a micro heat exchanger for performance improvement. CFD training for fellow engineers of the team.
Accomplishments: Automation for urea film deposition techniques after experimental verification helped to save several hundred hours of effort for further simulation.

Work Summary: Computational Hemodynamics, CFD calculation of hemolysis in blood during circulation in left Ventricular Assisted Devices, (LVAD) due to non-physiological condition.
My postdoctoral research specialised in Computational Hemodynamics, with a focus on predicting hemolysis (blood damage) within Left Ventricular Assist Devices (LVAD). Operating under non-physiological conditions, these devices pose significant challenges for traditional experimental studies due to their high cost and complexity. Utilising advanced CFD modelling, I characterised the mechanisms of blood trauma, providing critical data that enabled the optimisation and streamlined experimental design of next-generation cardiovascular devices.
