Om's Learning Journey
A third-year undergraduate student at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Bombay pursuing B.Tech in Chemical Engineering (honours)
About Me
Research is formalised curiosity. It is poking and prying with a purpose.
Zora Hurston
I am a curious bookworm who feeds upon every block of interesting knowledge that I encounter. I chose research to be the best way to do so. Being an Undergraduate, my research interests haven't been clearly defined but I have explored computational methods including Molecular dynamics, CFD and DEM and I am willing to explore many more domains in this journey.

Major Projects
Coating FLow on a Rotating Disc
Guide: Professor Guruswamy
In this project, we were given a research paper to study and give a review on.
ODE-BVP
Guide: Professor Sarika
In this project, we were given a thereotical problem statement related to the theory taught in class. The problem statement can be found in the report.
Thermo Acoustic Cooling of Thermal Hotspots
Guide: Prof Sunthar & Prof Venkat
This was an open-ended project where we had to take up a practical problem related to heat transfer and find an innovative solution for the same. Our group has solved the problem of thermal hotspots by cooling using sound waves.
Flow Past Nine Cylinders in Square Configuration
Guide: Professor Janani
This was a case study done using OpenFOAM where some of the results were validated against a research paper while some new cases were simulated and observations were reported.
Neuroclone
Institote Summer Technical Project
In this project, our team used Deep learning concepts to make a "Thought controlled human hand"
Predicting IPL Scores
Guide: Prof Sethi, Prof Hanawal, Prof Sunita & Prof Sudarshan
In this project, we have applied data science techniques to predict IPL scores
Creating Own Solver in OpenFOAM
Self Project
This was an independent project from an online course on OpenFOAM.
