Dr. Kashish Kumar (Ph.D.) Email & Phone Number

In the captivating year of 2023, I embarked on a thrilling journey as a post-doctoral fellow in the prestigious Department of Energy Science and Engineering at IIT Bombay. With honors earned in Mechanical Engineering, I ventured further to Maulana Azad National Institute of Technology, India, where I proudly submitted my Ph.D. thesis, followed by an M. Tech. degree from Sant Longowal Institute of Engineering and Technology (SLIET), Longowal, Punjab, India.My research passions lie within a captivating domain, where heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems, heat transfer, refrigeration, and air-conditioning take center stage. I am driven by the quest for waste-heat recovery, hybrid energy systems, energy optimization, building energy efficiency, and green sustainable energy technologies. My expertise extends to the design and evaluation of advanced, innovative, and energy-efficient HVAC systems.Presently, I have successfully submitted my Ph.D. thesis titled "Experimental investigation on the performance of a hybrid desiccant dehumidification air conditioning system" under the esteemed guidance of Dr. Alok Singh, an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Maulana Azad National Institute of Technology (MANIT), India, in December 2022.During my doctoral research, I had the privilege of developing a ground-breaking hybrid air-conditioning system that combines the environmentally friendly liquid desiccant dehumidification technology with traditional vapor compression systems. Additionally, the system leverages the power of waste-heat recovery, enhancing overall performance. Through a series of meticulous experimental and numerical studies, I evaluated the dehumidification capabilities of various liquid desiccants, while also conducting an economic assessment of the hybrid system.My innate leadership qualities, coupled with my experience in organizing workshops and summer school programs, make me a strong candidate for any research position. Furthermore, I possess a wide array of skills, including the ability to work independently in scientific research investigations, data interpretation, effective communication, and proficient writing, among others. However, my skill set is not limited to these areas, as I continually strive to expand my horizons.
