The Indo-Japanese Collaborative Workshop on CFD-based AI and HPC aims to bring together leading experts, researchers, and practitioners from India and Japan to discuss recent advancements at the intersection of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), Artificial Intelligence (AI), and High-Performance Computing (HPC). The workshop will feature invited talks and discussions on topics such as physics-informed machine learning, data-driven turbulence modeling, high-fidelity simulations, and scalable computing frameworks.
This event provides a unique platform to foster collaboration, share innovative methodologies, and explore joint research opportunities in emerging areas of computational and data-driven fluid mechanics.
Dr. Rajesh Ranjan is a faculty member in the Department of Aerospace Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur. He leads the Aeroscience Computations and Analysis Lab (ACAL), which focuses on developing high-fidelity computational methods and data-driven approaches for aerospace and mechanical engineering applications. He obtained his Master's degree from the Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru, and his Ph.D. from the Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research, India, under the supervision of the late Professor Roddam Narasimha. Prior to joining IIT Kanpur, he was a postdoctoral scholar at The Ohio State University, USA. Dr. Ranjan is also the founder and director of Vayusoft Labs Pvt. Ltd., a startup focused on AI-CFD–based efficient simulations for complex flows. His research interests span turbomachinery, high-speed flows, transition and turbulence, and scientific machine learning
Dr. Pradeep Moise is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Aerospace Engineering at IIT Kanpur. He obtained his Ph.D. from the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) Bengaluru and his B.Tech. from NIT Tiruchirappalli. His research focuses on computational fluid dynamics (CFD), including direct and large-eddy simulations (DNS and LES), linear stability analysis, modal decomposition, and flow control. At IIT Kanpur, he leads the SoFun Lab, which works on understanding and modeling complex flow phenomena such as vortex breakdown, transonic buffet, and turbulent flow dynamics using high-performance computing and data-driven approaches.
