I am a Research Associate with Dr. Rohit Pillai investigating interfacial heat transfer at various solid-liquid interfaces, with a focus on efficient heat management for dense electronics. My interest lies in using Molecular Dynamics (MD) and Many-Body Dissipative Particle Dynamics (MDPD) to study thermodynamics and non-equilibrium flow phenomena in porous media and nanochannels.

During my PhD at the University of Twente, I developed computational models to examine ink-paper interactions relevant to inkjet printing applications. My work involved using the coarse-grained particle-based simulation technique MDPD to explore how simple and complex fluids penetrate different porous structures. The PhD thesis resulting from my work was chosen as a highlight by the J. M. Burgers Centrum fluid mechanics school, The Netherlands. My supervisors were Dr. Wouter K. den Otter and Prof. Stefan Luding.

As a postdoctoral researcher at TU Delft with Prof. Hadi Hajibeygi, Dr. Othonas Moultos, and Prof. Thijs Vlugt, my research shifted to subsurface hydrogen storage, particularly in calculating thermophysical properties of hydrogen mixtures. By employing molecular dynamics simulations, I computed mutual diffusivities for hydrogen-carbon dioxide mixtures, aiding in understanding the mixing of these gases. Additionally, I co-developed a method using Monte Carlo simulation technique to compute thermodynamic factors, which are essential for calculating Fick diffusivities.
