About

I am currently working on solar energy harvesting, utilization and storage for industrial applications. My research interests are ray tracing methods, computational fluid dynamics, PCM, nanomaterials, metal foam, latent heat thermal energy storage, geothermal systems, heat transfer, CSPs, UUVs, TEGs and heat exchangers. I am using various techniques, such as solar ray tracing methods using the MCRT (Monte Carlo Ray Tracing) method using parallel computing, to solve the problem associated with solar thermal systems.
