I was interested in systems and their working since my high school days. I have spent many weekend afternoons taking my cycle, an air-conditioner apart just to observe at the systems.

Science has long since held a cherished place in my heart. Since my secondary school days I have had a special interest and aptitude for science. Based on my interests I took up the science stream in high school. It was here that I truly discovered myself. I was inclined to physics more than any other science stream. It was then that I decided that I would do my bachelors in Mechanical Engineering. Wanting to study in India’s top engineering college, it was only through hard work, determination and perseverance that I was selected into BITS-Pilani, a college that has an intake value of just around 1%.

In college I continued to do well in all subjects that were related to mechanical Engineering and this fact is reflected in my grades. I have top grades in Physics-1(Engineering Mechanics), Mechanics of Solids, Advanced Mechanics of Solids, Production Techniques, etc.

While doing my ‘Transport Phenomena” course, I noticed the power of numerical techniques. I was very interested and curious to learn more about the same and hence worked on “The Numerical techniques used in CFD“, during first semester of my junior year. During the project I was exposed to various concepts, equations of fluid flow and heat transfer. In this project I learnt about fundamental design techniques, Finite Difference Method, Finite Volume method which helped me solve basic problems of heat transfer and fluid flow. This was one my first research experiences and I learnt the various nuances of research and now possess the ability to work independently when required. This also ...
