Welcome!

Prabhu Ramachandran

Welcome to my home page! I'm a member of the faculty at the department of aerospace engineering, IIT Bombay. I am an alumnus of the department of aerospace engineering, IIT Madras.

My research interests include vortex methods, particle methods for computational fluid dynamics, scientific computing, parallel and high-performance computing, and applied scientific data visualization. Formerly, I was managing director and later director of Enthought India. I'm an advocate of Free and Open Source software and in my spare time develop some free/open software. I blog very occasionally.
