Hello!! :)

I have recently graduated doctoral degree from the Centre for Geophysical and Astrophysical Fluid Dynamics group of the Univ of Exeter. I work with Prof. Andrew Hillier on Magnetohydrodynamic Instabilities, particularly the magnetic Rayleigh Taylor instability. I investigated how magnetic fields influence the self-similarity evolution of instability, the fluid mixing. Further, I explored the role of magnetic reconnection on the large-scale instability evolution and dynamics. Broadly, I am interested in turbulence and instabilities (both hydrodynamic and magnetohydrodynamic).

I have previously obtained my Master's (with a specialization in Fluid Mechanics) from the Indian Institute of Technology Madras, where I worked with Prof Vagesh D. Narasimhamurthy on shear instabilities between co-flowing plane Couette flows.

My Bachelor's thesis was Conjugate Heat Transfer in pipe flows and fluid sloshing in a rectangular tank with baffles.

Besides research, I work as a Postgraduate Teaching Assistant for the courses: MTH1002 Mathematical Methods, MTH2003 Differential Equations, MTHM019 Fluid Dynamics of Atmosphere and Ocean, and on Turbulence Modelling during my Master's.

Besides research, I love playing cricket, spending time with friends, trekking, and biking.
