Aniket Ambekar

Aniket Ambekar is a Research Fellow at the Department of Chemical Engineering and Chemistry, Eindhoven University of Technology. His research focuses on multiphase flow dynamics in porous media, with expertise in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and experimental validation techniques. He holds a PhD in Chemical Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi (2022), an MSc in Computational Fluid Dynamics from National Institute of Technology (2016), and a BSc in Chemical Technology from the University of Pune (2013).

Research interests include packed bed hydrodynamics, gas-liquid flow mechanisms, and the role of wettability in two-phase systems. His work combines high-resolution simulations (e.g., volume-of-fluid method) with experimental measurements to study flow regimes, interfacial dynamics, and phase distribution. Notable contributions address perforation effects in structured packings, particle aspect ratio impacts, and monolith gas-liquid interactions.

He has received prestigious awards including the Marie Skłodowska-Curie postdoctoral fellowship (2022) and the Outstanding Ph.D. Thesis Award (2024). Collaborations span European institutions, focusing on energy-efficient separation processes and reactor design optimization.
