Harshit Tiwari

I am a research scholar in the Department of Physics at IIT Kanpur, jointly supervised by Prof. Mahendra K. Verma and Prof. Rajesh Ranjan. Originally from Haldwani, Uttarakhand, my research focuses on fluid dynamics, turbulent convection, and compressible flows.

I specialize in building custom simulation software from the ground up (such as DHARA) to run large-scale Direct Numerical Simulations (DNS) on high-performance supercomputers, bridging fundamental physics with high-performance computation.

Outside of research, I enjoy trekking in the Himalayas, weight training, running, music, and gaming.
