Subash Gireesan completed his Master’s degree at the Institute of Chemical Technology, Mumbai. During his Masters, he worked on modelling the chemical transformations happening inside a cavitating bubble, with the aim of maximizing the production of oxidizing radicals. Currently he is pursuing is PhD at group of M2N, and the project is a part of the Shell-NWO Computational Sciences in Energy Research (CSER) PhD program. His work focuses on understanding thermal transport in semiconductor nanowires, for the application in thermoelectrics.
