Postdoctoral Research Fellow

University of Oxford

Working with Prof. Thomas J. Aubry on the NERC-funded PHOENIX project, investigating buoyant multiphase plumes in stratified and sheared environments using laboratory experiments, integral modelling and large-eddy simulations.

• Developing an analogue flow facility for laboratory studies of buoyant plumes in stratified crossflow.
• Developing integral plume models and large-eddy simulation datasets to investigate plume dynamics, transport and entrainment under ambient stratification and velocity shear.

Doctoral Researcher

Indian Institute of Technology Delhi

Investigated transport, mixing and entrainment in turbulent jets, fountains and air curtains using laboratory experiments, large-eddy simulations and Lagrangian transport analysis.

• Developed experimental and numerical frameworks for studying turbulent impinging fountains and air curtains.
• Investigated the physical mechanisms governing infiltration and transport across air curtains using Eulerian and Lagrangian analyses.

Graduate Researcher

The University of Melbourne

Investigated mixing in stratified gravity currents using high-resolution molecular tagging velocimetry and thermometry.

• Performed simultaneous velocity and temperature measurements to quantify mixing in lock-exchange flows.
• The resulting first-author Physics of Fluids article was selected as an Editor's Pick.

Graduate Researcher

National Tsing Hua University

Developed computational methods for incompressible fluid-flow simulation, including multigrid and GPU-based lattice Boltzmann solvers.

• Developed an in-house multigrid solver for the unsteady incompressible Navier-Stokes equations.
• Implemented GPU-accelerated lattice Boltzmann solvers and immersed-boundary methods for fluid-solid interaction problems.
