𝓐𝓫𝓸𝓾𝓽 𝓜𝓮

 

I came to Canada in 2017 to begin my academic journey and enrolled in the undergraduate program at Lakehead University. After completing my BSc in Mechanical Engineering, I entered the industry, where I gained an understanding of the responsibilities of engineers and the scale at which critical projects operate.

Since childhood, I have aspired to become a scientist, a goal that remained constant throughout my schooling in India. My fascination with fluid dynamics and scientific inquiry eventually led me back to academia, where I joined the thesis-based MSc program under the supervision of Dr. Ali Tarokh and Dr. Muhammad Saif Ullah Khalid. Their guidance shaped my research mindset and introduced me to the academic culture.

Now, as I approach graduation, I reflect on the next step:

How will I shape my PhD journey, and how can I meaningfully contribute to the research community? These questions drive me forward as I aim to publish impactful work and grow as a researcher.

About my current work

My work at NIERL

 

At the Nature-Inspired Engineering Research Lab (NIERL), I investigate how fluid dynamics influences both natural and engineering systems. My work focuses on uncovering wake topology, from the motion of swimming fish to the dynamics around turbines, revealing how natural physics can guide innovative engineering.

I aspire to pursue a PhD that brings me closer to understanding nature through the lens of fluid mechanics. My goal is to advance CFD and FSI research while ensuring its practical relevance through meaningful professional collaboration.

    Undergraduate project [X-Engine]

     During my undergraduate studies, I worked on a small project based on the engine originally introduced by Henry Ford in early 1920. It remains close to my heart, as it was the first idea I had envisioned since my 10th grade. This project marked the beginning of my research journey, it introduced me to the process of literature review, analysis, and technical design, and ultimately opened the door to the world of engineering research. 

    Lets connect

    Open to PhD opportunities, academic supervision, and industry projects involving CFD, fluid–structure interaction, or numerical simulations. Feel free to get in touch.
