Presently, I am working as a research assisatant in the Department of Aerospace Engineering at Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur, Kharagpur.
I am specializing in Propulsion. I recived Ph. D. in Aerospace Engineerign from the Department of Aerospace Engineering at Indian Institute
of Technology Kharagpur, Kharagpur, India in 2021. My PhD work was focused on numerical and experimental analysis on combustion of the multicomponent droplet.
I have received my masters (M. Tech) in Mechanical Engineering with specialization in Turbomachines from
Sardar Vallabhbhai National Institute of Technology, Surat in 2013 and bachelors from The Aeronautical Society of India, New Delhi in 2011 in Aeronautical Engineering.
