Welcome!
Welcome to my home page! I'm a member of the faculty at the department of aerospace engineering, IIT Bombay. I am also associated with the Centre for Machine Intelligence and Data Science at IIT Bombay. Between March 2022 and 2025, I was the Head of the Computer Centre at IIT Bombay. I am an alumnus of the department of aerospace engineering, IIT Madras.
My research interests include particle methods and meshfree methods for computational fluid dynamics, scientific computing, parallel and high-performance computing, machine learning for numerical computation, 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 have been a nominated member of the Python Software Foundation since 2010. I blog and tweet very occasionally.
