Research Interests
My primary research interest lies in the
area of food engineering. Within food engineering, thermal/aseptic
processing of particulate foods using conventional heat
exchangers and microwaves is my major area of research.
This includes various aspects of fluid mechanics and heat
transfer. I also deal with mathematical modeling of velocity
and temperature profiles during thermal processing. Developing
sensors to monitor various aspects of the process is another
area that I deal with. All these efforts are geared towards
assuring commercial sterility of a product by microbiological
validation. Identifying the optimum processing conditions
that yields a safe and high quality product is another aspect
of food processing that comes under the realms of my research
interests.
