Bachelor’s of Technology in Mechanical Engineering from Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Kharagpur, India in 1998.

Master’s in Computer Applications from Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Delhi, India in 2001.

Ph.D. degree in Mechanical Engineering with specialization in Combustion at Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, and graduated in 2006.

Research focuses on understanding the combustion characteristics and combustion strategy of practical hydrocarbon fuels. Research interests include design of novel and well-characterized experimental facilities for combustion studies, combustion at elevated pressures relevant to practical combustors and engines, chemical kinetics of hydrocarbon fuels, flame phenomena, laser diagnostics, development of reduced mechanisms, and alternative fuels.
