PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY
 3+ years of experience as a CFD Researcher in multiple R&D projects. It involved performing
geometry clean-ups, generating Hex, Tet, & Hybrid mesh and performing CFD simulations using
Commercial CFD tools ANSYS-FLUENT, ICEM-CFD. This resulted in timely-delivery of CFD analysis
results and recommendations in Technical reports for Industrial R&D Projects (DST-RPDC-2013,
SONA-KOYO-2015).
 Learned to expert proficiency several CFD software’s such as ANSYS-FLUENT, ICEM-CFD,
OpenFOAM and COMSOL-Multiphysics to contribute towards requirements of ongoing projects
resulting in publication of 3 International Journal and Conference papers (Material Science and
Technology-2013,ASME-ISHMT-2011 & 2013).
