Biography

I am highly motivated Assistant Professor with over 10+ years of experience in academia. Currently pursuing a PhD in Thermal Engineering, I possesses a strong foundation in heat transfer, thermodynamics, and related fields. My educational background includes a Master's degree in Thermal Engineering with a stellar CGPA of 8.94 and a Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering. I has held positions at both Sri Krishna College of Technology and Park College of Engineering and Technology, demonstrating my commitment to teaching and student development. Beyond academics, my prolific researcher with a keen interest in areas like Phase Change Materials, Nanotechnology, and their applications in solar energy technologies. I has authored and co-authored numerous publications in reputed journals and conferences, showcasing his ability to translate theoretical knowledge into practical solutions. My research focus on improving the efficiency of solar flat plate collectors using innovative materials aligns well with the growing demand for sustainable energy solutions.
