Professional Experience
-
Specialized in Thermal/Cryogenic Engineering. More than 22 years of experience in Space R&D, Defence R&D, Universities after completing Ph.D. work. National award winner in the field of Cryogenics. Core member in the design and development of indigenous cryogenic rocket engines and cryogenic upper stage engines for GSLV mission. Core member in the development of hydrogen inducted IC engine. Designed and developed various cryogenic refrigerators for infra-red sensor module for onboard space craft detector cooling applications and main battle tank. Jointly engaged with IISc for sponsored projects worth 1.8 crore. Major projects are under review/modification/discussion stage. Undertaken consultancy with Indian Institute of Science Bangalore, Nuclear science centre New Delhi, Cryo engine division and cryo stage division of LPSC, ISRO and along with other minor consultancies. Set up state of the art computing facility in Central Computer Centre and a supercomputing facility PURNA for the first time in NITC. Developed centre for advanced studies in cryogenics (CASC) for developing know how in contemporary, futuristic and strategic technologies.
