Deepak Sharma

Dr. Sharma is an accomplished and dedicated faculty research associate with expertise in experimental diagnosis in various research fields. Currently, he is working on identifying the physics of vegetation and building material fire behavior using experimental and machine-learning methods. Deepak completed his postdoctoral research in Dec 2022, where he focused on the development of liquid fuel injectors for latest supersonic propulsion devices, RDE. Deepak’s doctorate research aimed at developing energy-efficient and durable water desalination technology where he developed a novel airblast atomization mechanism with complete suppression of fouling and a low-grade heat-based actuator for the desalination unit.

He published 2 patents and 2 peer-reviewed journals from his work. In 2022, he earned his doctorate degree, demonstrating his deep understanding and contribution to these areas. Dr. Sharma's research journey began with a master's degree from IIT Patna in 2017, where he laid the foundation for his research career. Prior to his Ph.D., he worked on phase-change thermal management using microchannel heat sinks. He used surface modification and vapor venting techniques to achieve excellent heat transfer and patented the design. He also worked on renewable energy technology called gasifiers to operate absorption-desorption refrigeration systems using biomass as the source of energy. His exceptional knowledge and extensive experience make him a valuable asset in advancing innovative solutions for wildfire, sustainable energy, water desalination, thermal management, and environmental conservation.
