Computational Engineer & Fluid Dynamicist

by Sharun Kuhar, Invalid DateTime

I am a Postdoctoral Researcher at Purdue University (Complex Flow Lab) and a Quad Fellow, specializing in high-fidelity computational modeling of biological systems. My work bridges the gap between mechanical engineering and clinical medicine, using advanced CFD to solve complex problems in drug delivery and physiological flows.

Currently, I am conducting research into the tools and methods that help develop an understanding of the physiology and structure related to various routes of administration in drug delivery. Previously, I completed my Ph.D. at Johns Hopkins University, where I built first-of-their-kind “digital twin” models of the human stomach to analyze digestion and gastric motility. Before that, I earned by B.E. and M.E. from IIT Kanpur.

Core Competencies:

Domain: Fluid Mechanics, Multiphase Flows, Bio-fluids, Soft Matter
Technical Stack: Python, C++, Fortran, FEniCS, MPI/High-Performance Computing
Impact: My research aims to de-risk medical device development and optimize non-invasive therapies through reproducible, validated simulation tools
