Indian Institute of Science

I work as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computational and Data Sciences, Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru, India. I am the Principal Investigator of the FLAME Laboratory. Prior to this, I was a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Combustion Research Facility, Sandia National Laboratories, Livermore, CA, United States.

I work broadly in the areas of computational fluid dynamics, combustion and propulsion, and scientific machine learning. My current research includes large scale simulations of turbulent combustion relevant to gas turbine and scramjet engines, development of scalable asynchronous numerical methods and simulation algorithms for solving partial differential equations (PDEs) on massively parallel computing systems, and acceleration of PDE solvers using machine learning methods.

Our lab has four open research positions including Ph.D. and M.Tech. (Research). We welcome applications from highly motivated individuals. Interested candidates can apply through IISc admissions 2025 portal. Prospective students can choose any program in the Department of Computational and Data Sciences or the Ph.D. in Interdisciplinary Mathematical Sciences by the IISc Mathematics Initiative (IMI) to work in my lab. We look forward to receiving your application!
