Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolParthib Rao is a Senior R&D Engineer and PhD-trained thermal/mechanical specialist with over a decade of experience designing, modeling, and testing thermal systems across oil & gas, HVAC, combustion, and renewable energy sectors. He leads large, multidisciplinary projects—including a $3.9M DOE program on methane mitigation—and blends hands-on experimental work (EPA emissions methods, custom rigs) with advanced model-based design using tools from C/C++ and Python to Modelica and Cantera. His background spans industrial boiler and HRSG engineering to cutting-edge research in digital rock physics, lattice Boltzmann multiphase modeling, and novel working-fluid power cycles, yielding 11 peer-reviewed papers and a patent application. Comfortable writing successful grant proposals and managing bids, he is effective in small, fast-paced teams and frequently acts as principal investigator and technical reviewer for federal agencies. An uncommon strength is his ability to translate detailed pore-scale and combustion physics into practical, systems-level solutions for emissions reduction and thermal management.
