Recent research:
The research portfolio focuses on advancing thermal-fluid engineering, manufacturing optimization, and sustainable resource management. A significant portion of the work involves the application of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and finite element analysis to enhance the performance of heat exchangers, solar-assisted heat pumps, and refrigeration systems, specifically investigating two-phase flow, boiling phenomena, and heat transfer coefficients in various geometries. Complementing these technical studies, the research addresses industrial process optimization through Lean manufacturing, Six Sigma methodologies, and predictive maintenance modeling to improve operational availability and reduce variability in production environments. Furthermore, the work explores sustainable engineering solutions, including landfill biogas assessment, rainwater harvesting, and the remanufacturing of critical mechanical components via additive technologies to promote circular economy principles. Finally, the research extends to educational management, analyzing the intersection of ethics, technology, and governance in higher education to foster institutional quality and collaborative knowledge networks.
