Mr. Ashvani Kumar | Microfluid | National Institute of Technology (NIT), Uttarakhand | India

Mr. Ashvani Kumar, from the Department of Mathematics at the National Institute of Technology, Srinagar (Garhwal), Uttarakhand, India, is a highly motivated and emerging researcher in the field of fluid mechanics, microfluidics, nanofluidics, and heat transfer. He is currently pursuing his Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) under the guidance of Dr. Dharmendra Tripathi on the thesis titled “Parametric Analysis of Pumping Flow Models with Geometrical and Rheological Properties.” Mr. Kumar obtained his Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) degree in Physics, Mathematics, and Chemistry and his Master of Science (M.Sc.) degree in Mathematics from Gurukula Kangri Vishwavidyalaya, Haridwar, Uttarakhand, India, both with high academic standing. His educational background has built a strong foundation in mathematical modeling, applied mathematics, and computational simulation, which he now applies to solve complex problems in biological and engineering flow systems. Professionally, Mr. Kumar has collaborated with researchers on international and interdisciplinary projects related to electroosmotic flow, peristaltic transport, magnetohydrodynamics, entropy generation, and thermal-fluid analysis, with significant applications in biomedical engineering and sensor-based systems. His research interests encompass mathematical and computational modeling of non-Newtonian fluids, heat and mass transfer enhancement, and hybrid nanofluid dynamics, with a particular focus on analytical and numerical methods. Mr. Kumar’s research skills include proficiency in advanced mathematical modeling, nonlinear analysis, and the use of computational tools such as MATLAB, COMSOL, and Mathematica for simulating fluid flow and heat transfer in complex geometries.
