Work History

Computational Scientist

Shell
  • Developed Green Hydrogen process modelling capabilities leveraging in-house electrolyser models and external collaborations with Aveva and Aspen
  • Translating the knowledge to deliver multi-purpose dynamics simulator (MPDS) for biggest green hydrogen plant in europe while collaboration with multiple stakeholders
  • Leading the capability development for electrolyser modelling and optimisation at GW scale.

Computational Scientist

Shell
  • Led the development of StarWakes toolkit (risked NPV of $45 Mn) from concept design to digital product deployment for wind farm design and layout optimisation in collaboration with offshore wind team
  • Collaborate with wind business team towards AEP estimation and windfarm design to minimise LCOE for tender submission
  • Represent Shell at offshore wind accelerator consortium for identification and quantification of global blockage effects
  • Collaborating with Denmark Technical University to improve the computational efficiency and memory usage of the existing wind farm flow blockage model when simulating large numbers of wind turbines
  • Developing active wake control models using reinforcement learning for maximising power output of windfarms.

  • Evaluating existing offshore wind farm wake models using advanced uncertainty quantification methods.

  • Developing a fast and scalable Physics-informed Neural Network for Turbine Wake Modelling in collaboration with Indian Institute of Sciences
  • Supervised interns from Massachusetts Institute of Technology on development of machine learning models for improved prediction in multi-phase flows and reduced-order modeling for real-time prediction of flow accelerated corrosion
  • Co-authored a strategy paper on augmented intelligence towards integration of domain insights with data.

  • Developed high fidelity multi-physics model of offshore windfarms for accurate AEP estimation
  • Multiple CFD projects for different business verticals, e.g simulations of droplet trajectories, pressure drop in packed-bed reactors, mixing in sub-sea jumpers
  • Design and analysis of thermosyphon piping for ethylene-oxide reactors and being the custodian for thermosyphon tool
  • Optimizing methanol injection in sub-sea jumpers using CFD, in collaboration with GoM process engineering and PTX/E flow assurance.

Computational Scientist

Shell
1 2018 - Current
  • Led the development of NEMO (New Energies Modelling & Optimisation), a standardized & modularized modeling toolkit for calculating optimal design of renewable assets to achieve the decarbonization of energy demand (power, H2 & heat)
  • Deployed for techno-economic modeling of new energy systems for industrial sector by calculating the optimum size of renewable asset by incorporating energy demand, weather profile, technology disruption, unit capital costs and other market uncertainties
  • The technology blocks are based on the physics-based models which convert raw weather data into power output and calculates degradation over time.
