My doctoral research at the University of South Florida was focused on mathematical modeling, physics based performance modeling, and mapping scroll expander performance for small-scale power generation. Apart from my research, I worked with the University of South Florida's Facilities and Planning Team to reduce carbon footprint of the campus through energy efficiency and building energy modeling projects. Field of interest: Physics based modeling, Thermal engineering (HVAC, Refrigeration, and Power cycle), Building Energy Modeling, and Energy EfficiencyHere are my research and experience highlights: 1. Novel approach to model scroll expander geometry2. 5 years of experience in thermodynamic cycles, heat transfer modeling, fluid dynamics, turbomachinery geometric and performance modeling3. Over 3 years research experience with thermal driven (ORC) air-conditioning system on testing, data analysis, components resizing, and performance improvement measures.4. 2 years of experience in solar cooling (vapor absorption) technologies as a Research Engineer in Siemens Corporate Research5. Over 3 years experience with energy efficiency/conservation projects in savings estimation, grants, and project management. 6. Completed energy efficiency/conservation projects include LED conversion, solar PV power plant, fume hood VAV controls & automation, and estimating energy improvements for several campus buildings through energy modeling,
