Abhishek Kumar

Delhi, India ******.*@*****.*** +91-729*******-**/09/2025 Dear Hiring Committee,

I am writing to express my interest in the advertised Postdoctoral/Research Fellow position. I recently submitted my Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering at Bennett University, where my work focused on computational fluid dynamics (CFD), multiphase turbulence modeling, transient simulations, and fluid–structure interaction (FSI) applied to the study of liquid ring vacuum pumps. My doctoral research deepened my expertise in advanced numerical modeling, HPC simulations, and the validation of computational results with experimental data.

In addition to my academic research, I am currently working as an Assistant R&D Manager in CFD, where I lead and contribute to several energy-related projects. These include solar- assisted high-altitude shelters, solar heat exchangers, heat pipes, and wind turbine simulations, where I have combined CFD analysis with practical engineering design and system optimization. This blend of academic rigor and industrial application has strengthened my ability to approach complex problems with both scientific insight and engineering practicality.

Across my academic and professional career, I have developed strong skills in process modeling, multiphysics simulations, and turbulence analysis, along with proficiency in programming (C++/Python) and CFD solver environments. I have authored peer-reviewed publications, collaborated with interdisciplinary teams, and supervised junior researchers, which has enhanced my communication and mentoring abilities. I am eager to contribute my expertise in CFD, multiphase flows, FSI, and energy systems modeling to address challenging problems in fluid mechanics, energy, and environmental systems. I am particularly motivated by opportunities that integrate simulation-based research with real-world industrial applications, and I look forward to advancing innovative solutions in a collaborative research environment. Thank you for considering my application. I have attached my CV and supporting documents for your review. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss how my background and skills align with the goals of your research group.

Sincerely,

Abhishek Kumar
