Thesis: Model-based design and development of horticultural produce crate from bamboo. Developed ventilated packaging solutions to enhance the preservation of perishable products. Integrated Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) for optimized design and evaluation of packaging systems. Conducted research on biomaterials(bamboo) to create sustainable and efective postharvest solutions. Investigated transport phenomena in porous media to understand cooling air movement and its impact on product quality. Implemented turbulence modeling techniques to improve airfow and reduce spoilage in storage environments.

Thesis: Design and development of a modified biomass charcoal production kiln. Promoted energy efficiency through innovative techniques and practices that minimize energy consumption and reduce operational costs. Implemented process intensification strategies to enhance productivity. Advanced ecosystem management by integrating sustainable practices that protect biodiversity, conserve resources and promote environmental stewardship. Developed and executed strategies that align energy efficiency initiatives with process intensification goals to achieve holistic sustainability outcomes.
