Mr. Prabhu S. received his M. E. in Internal Combustion Engineering from College of Engineering, Guindy, Anna University, Chennai. His professional experience includes working as a Project Manager at TATA chemicals limited and Computational Engineer at General Electric-Aviation. His area of interest includes Internal Combustion Engines, Gas Turbines, Emission Modeling, Direct Numerical Simulation, Machine Learning. He joined Amrita School of Engineering in June 2018 and currently working as Assistant Professor.

Research Expertise

My research interest is to investigate the sensitivity of the soot formation rate to various chemical pathways for large polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. The process involves a systematic reduction of the reaction mechanisms for efficient flame simulations, description of soot aerosol model based on statistical approaches, and high fidelity simulations of laminar and turbulent flames.
