Ph.D. Student

A little about me

I am currently a PhD student at the Civil and Environmental Engineering, Florida International University. My native place is Kozhikode in Kerala (a southern state of India). I can speak Malayalam and English. After my bachelor’s and master’s degree in engineering I worked in teaching and research positions at different universities in India. I joined FIU in the Fall of 2023.

Research interests

I work in the interdisciplinary field of computational mechanics, which is a combination of engineering mechanics, computer science, and applied mathematics. In some of the major projects I worked in the past, I developed numerical methods for fluid structure interaction problems using finite element method in a monolithic fully Eulerian framework, used computational software for heat exchanger designs and studied particle flow in polymer extrusion.

Personal interests

I like to understand the culture, history, and politics of different parts of the world. I also like to visit interesting places to understand them better.
