In order to understand subsurface fracture propagation from hydraulic fracturing, my research has focused on evaluating a unique time-lapse crosswell seismic dataset using signal processing, stochastic inversion, and intensive data analytics.
My research is about the Human perception factor in thermal comfort satisfaction at shared workspaces through Occupant-Centric Digital Twins (OCDT), a real-time spatiotemporal display of a color-coded thermal map of the existing indoor microclimates.
My research pertains to identifying and studying the time evolution of topological defects in liquid crystal systems that arise due to orientational and positional asymmetry and relating their nanoscale phenomena to the micro/continuum scale.
