My name is Bhanu Pratap Akherya. I recently began my Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering at Florida State University under the advisement of Dr. Alexandre Berger. My research will focus on hypersonic flows, and I am eager to take on the challenges and opportunities this field presents. I hold a BE-MBA in Mechanical Engineering from Thapar Institute of Engineering & Technology. I have hands-on experience with tools such as AutoCAD, SolidWorks, PTC Creo, MATLAB, and ANSYS (Fluent and Static Structural), and have completed various technical projects that have strengthened both my engineering and leadership skills.
