<\/p>\n

After completing my Ph.D., at the Department of Ocean Engineering, IIT Madras, I had an industrial experience at HRWallingford, UK. At that time, I found research is my passion, so I re-entered research through the Newton International fellowship with City University London as host. After completing this fellowship, I received the prestigious Alexander Von Humboldt Fellowship, Germany, with Franzius Institute (Presently, LuFi, LuH) as host. I am also the recipient of the RJ Garde Research award from Indian Society of Hydraulics, Pune; Young Faculty Recognition Award, 2018 from IIT Madras; ISOPE Conference-best session organiser award, 2020.<\/h4>\n

I joined the Department of Ocean Engineering in 2013 as Assistant Professor and promoted to Associate Professor in 2018. During this period, I extended my research areas from numerical model developments (such as Particle method, FVM, FEM for wave structure interactions) and moved to application of the model for a wide variety of problems such as ship simulations, offshore structures and coastal engineering applications. Presently, these models are in advanced state of development and the students joining our group need not start from scratch. Browse through the pages to know more about these developed models. Apart from numerical models, we are also working to develop the experimental facilities and generation of waves, current mechanism, and active absorption techniques. Hence, our group currently carrying out research in understanding the fundamental work on extreme wave interactions with marine structures, as this is going to be important for the survivability of the renewable energy (such as wave energy or offshore wind energy).<\/h4>\n
