Personal profile

Research interests

My areas of interest encompass various topics within Mechanical Engineering, focusing on water droplet behavior, hydrophobic surfaces, and surface characteristics. I am deeply engaged in research related to renewable energy, including solar energy harvesting and the degradation of photovoltaic panels. My work also explores fluid mechanics, heat transfer, and the cleaning properties of water droplets on various surfaces, such as silicone-impregnated and crystallized polycarbonate surfaces. Additionally, I investigate dust layer attributes and the effects of rolling and sliding motions on surface interactions.
