Personal:

I completed my Ph.D. degree in combustor design and optimisation at the Rolls-Royce UTC for Computational Engineering,University of Southampton in January 2012. Before this I obtained my MSc in Aerodynamics and Computation also at University of Southampton (2008) and my BEng degree in Mechanical Engineering at Sardar Patel College of Engineering, University of Mumbai (2006), India.
