Hello!
I am applying for PhD in combustion science. I recently graduated from TU Delft, Netherlands. I have carried out my MS thesis on CFD of micro gas turbine spray combustor at DLR Institute of Combustion Technology (German Aerospace Center). I was awarded an 8/10 for the thesis and was highly appreciated by DLR for my contribution.
Although my overall GPA is an 8, I should mention here that I have got low grades in few key subjects such as advanced fluid dynamics and turbulence. But have high grades in courses of combustion and turbomachinery.
I will be getting a strong recommendation letter from my MS thesis advisor. He is a full time professor and well known name in combustion research community. Second LOR will be given by another assoc. prof who is also quite well known. Third one will be from research scientist at DLR.
Publications:
- My thesis work has been published in 52nd AIAA Joint Propulsion Conference, Salt Lake City, USA.
- Currently, article submitted for AIAA Journal for review.
- Also have conference publications of my undergraduate research in IC engine combustion. But not so big ones.
Acads:
B.E, Mechanical Engg. from VTU, Belgaum, Karnataka, India
MSc. Mechanical Engg. from TU Delft, Netherlands
Scores:
GRE - 313, Q - 162, V - 151, AWA - 3.5
TOEFL - 103, R - 26, W - 28, S - 22, L - 27
Internships:
Reseach internships at DLR (during MS) and IIT, Guwahati (during B.E)
I am interested in combustion research, mainly focused on gas turbine combustion. I have shortlisted following universities. Please evaluate them as ambi/mod/safe. If needs to be dropped, please give a reason.
1. UC Irvine (Combustion lab)
2. Penn State (Computational reacting flows lab, reacting flow dynamics lab)
3. Gatech, Aerospace (Ben T. Zinn combustion lab)
4. Gatech, Mechanial (spray physics and engine research lab)
5. UC San Diego (combustion research group)
6. University of Maryland, Baltimore (combustion lab)
7. OSU (turbulence and combustion research lab)
8. NCSU (computational combustion and energy sciences lab)
9. University of Connecticut (combustion diagnostics lab)
10. UMich, Ann Arbor (PACE lab), I think its too ambi
