About

Deepak is a post-graduate research scholar in thermal and fluid engineering from IIT Bombay. He is currently working on long-term heat removal systems, a project funded by GOI. Other areas of his interest include improving heat transfer augmentation in boiling, condensation, and single-phase flows which involve heat transfer, dynamics of fluid flow, and mass transfer.

During his M.Tech., he worked on Finite element analysis of underwater impacts. He has a research background in mechanical design and is skilled in Abaqus/CAE, Finite Element Analysis, AutoCAD, Computer-Aided Design (CAD), Matlab, and Engineering.

He is an experienced content developer with a demonstrated history of working in the education management industry. He is a strong media and communication professional with a Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech.) focused in Mechanical Engineering.

Apart from academia he actively participates in extra-curricular activities. He also likes to volunteer in social causes so he was a member of Jagrati - An Initiative of IIITians which focuses on primary education of Young India from underprivileged backgrounds. He is also an avid sportsman and a passionate performer. He likes to play cricket, ultimate frisbee, table tennis, badminton, and chess. He likes traveling and trekking and has traveled to many parts of the country.
