What I am working on

Updated August 2026 · Thiruvananthapuram

Pre-final year, B.E. Aerospace Engineering, RV College of Engineering. Looking for internships and research roles in liquid propulsion, turbomachinery, and CFD.

Right now

• Interning at LPSC, ISRO (Thiruvananthapuram) — helium bubbling in a LOX propellant tank for destratification and active pressurization.
• Experimental study of pressure drop through a flexible hose, same internship.
• First-principles design tools: Turbo Forge, Injector Forge, rockmoc, regen cooling, COPV sizing.
• CFD workflow tooling for Fluent and OpenFOAM (y+, case generation, turbulence-model selection).

Recently

• Liquid rocket engine design internship at BOCK SPACE — regenerative cooling, injectors, turbopump components.
• Research internship at IIST Thiruvananthapuram: TDLAS species concentration and PLMS fuel–air mixing.

Not doing

• Treating AI as the product. I use it as an engineering tool — RAG, literature, datasets — around propulsion and CFD work.
