About

Thermal-fluid researcher and industrial R&D engineer based in Solna, Sweden.

Abhijith is an M.Sc. Sustainable Energy Engineering candidate at KTH Royal Institute of Technology with embedded Siemens Energy thesis work in compressible CFD/CHT, high-temperature instrumentation and experimental-numerical validation. The same profile also covers industrial decarbonization methodology, energy/process modelling, Python-based optimisation and reproducible engineering tools for decision support.

Current snapshot

Current technical direction

The portfolio is organised around four Heat and Power Technology tracks: thermal and fluid engineering, energy systems modelling, industrial energy and decarbonisation, and research. The shared evidence base is the Siemens Energy thesis, KTH modelling and lab coursework, and industrial energy-performance methodology developed during the Alleima internship.

  • Current location: Solna, Sweden
  • Primary differentiator: Siemens Energy Finspång thesis on a high-temperature dynamic pressure sensor calibration rig
  • Target roles: doctoral research, thermal/CFD engineering, energy systems modelling, performance engineering and Associate Scientist / industrial R&D in decarbonization and electrification

How to read the evidence

Thermal and fluid engineering

The Siemens thesis anchors the thermal-fluid profile through high-temperature compressible CFD/CHT, pressure-loss interpretation, near-wall checks, mesh independence and test-rig instrumentation.

Energy systems modelling

KTH project work covers IDA ICE, HOMER Pro, SAM, LEAP, Python/PuLP optimisation, heating-demand forecasting and distribution-grid studies for performance and systems-engineering roles.

Industrial decarbonisation

Alleima and portfolio tooling show industrial R&D method development: load-driver logic, metering-gap assessment, KPI/EnPI framing, deviation detection and decision-support outputs.

Research

The research material links high-temperature passages, surface-condition effects, thermal resistance decomposition, experimental validation and monitoring indicators for thermally loaded hardware.

Evidence standard

Each case study is framed around the technical question, method, validation signal, uncertainty and decision value so readers can compare the work consistently.
