As an experimental researcher, I am developing multi kW scale Thermoacoustic prime mover for electrical power generation. Also, I am exploring Thermoacoustic based cryogenic cooling.
Previously, I did my doctoral thesis in the field of hypersonic aerothermodynamics and developed an unique thermal sensor based on Large Carbon Cluster. This sensor is the better alternative measurement device to the expensive platinum thin film sensor. In addition the sensor was modified to estimate radiative aerothermodynamic heating on planetary entry vehicles.
