Tenure Track Faculty - currently heads a reaserch group with 3 PhD and 5 MS students. The research projects has received grant support from National Science Foundation, Office of Naval Research, University of Missouri Research Board and Energy Research and Development Center. In addition, job involves teaching undergraduate and graduate level fluid mechanics courses.

Developed computational models for studying shear -, buoyancy - and shock- driven instabilities. Performed ILES of Rayleigh Taylor Instability to better understand the effect of initial conditions on such flows.

Successfully completed multiple six-sigma projects across Tata Motors. Obtained six-sigma green-belt training from ISI-Delhi. Tata Motors was the first company in India to implement Six-Sigma. Also took part in Kaizen -a continuous improvement process that was implement bi-annually at the company.
