About Me:

My area of research work focuses on fuel reformulation technique of biodiesel by adding nano additives. The main intent of my research work lies in improvising the fuel physical properties of Bio-Diesel fuel. To enhance the combustion of the reformed fuel within the combustion chamber and its measurement (Engine Performance and Combustion study). And the main goal of my research work is to minimize the engine exhaust emission. The future direction of my research work is to support biodiesel fuel and contribute in addressing the various challenges associated with its usage in terms of performance and emission in the engine. 

Three of my student projects under my guidance (out of three for two projects I have guided and for one project I have co-guided) those have been recognized and funded by KSCST (Karnataka State Council for Technical Education). 

The details are:
  1. Approved and funded by “Karnataka State Council for Science and Technology” (KSCST) for the student project “Performance And Emission Studies on Graphene And MWCNT Biodiesel Blended Fuels” for the academic year 2016 & 2017
  2. Approved and funded by “Karnataka State Council for Science and Technology” (KSCST) for the student project “Performance And Emission Test of Multi Walled Carbon Nano Tubes Blended Biodiesel” for the academic year 2015 & 2016
  3. Awarded as best project  by “Karnataka State Council for Science and Technology” (KSCST) for the student project “Fabrication of Sentry Gun” for the academic year 2014 & 2015
