About Ritwik Kulkarni

Hi! Thank you for stopping by! I am an aspiring thermal engineer who is curious to understand the current technology, comprehend the complex challenges and solve industrial problems with core expertise and research experience. I am currently pursuing my Masters of Science in Mechanical Engineering, focusing on fluid and thermal engineering. My research thesis caters towards the correlation development of heat transfer parameters and directly impacts the design phase of turbomachinery and electronic thermal management projects. My prior experiences include- Proven expertise in designing experiment setup, working with Data Acquisition NI Modules, and familiarity with Labview programming for data collection and reduction- Ability to identify idiosyncratic errors and bring innovative approaches to improve the credibility of experiment results- Research experience in flow test setups such as impingement chambers, wind tunnels, Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV), Laser Drop Velocimetry (LDV) and channel flows- Experience in numerical model development and thermal simulations using Ansys Fluent, CFX, OpenFOAM and Icepak- Solid background in coding MATLAB, Jmp and Python for the automation process and statistical analysis- Effective coordination with teams to be mindful of essential design characteristics and navigate through constraints in the product development process- Experience in automotive failure analysis in thermal loading, cycle failures and Design Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (DFMEA)- Research experience in fluid impingement cooling strategies in gas-turbomachinery blades- Curious to grasp contemporary processes, identify a better impact version, challenge current structure and adopt a goal-oriented approach to meet the objectives- Proven excellence in communication, technical writing and presentation with an inquisitive approach towards problem-solving in Fluid and Thermal domains.
