Ayush Ranjan

I am Ayush, a Masters-by-Research student in RMIT University’s School of Engineering.

Since I was a kid, I was into solving puzzles and loved mathematics. Later, I dove deep into electronics and explored the world of IoT and sensors. My interest in engineering led me to pursue a Bachelors degree in Electronics & Communication from Manipal University (Jaipur, India), which I completed in 2018. My IoT projects introduced me to the world of data, and I slowly started developing an interest in technologies for storing, manipulating, and translating data into insights to solve complex problems. To explore my interests further, I pursued a Masters degree in Data Science at RMIT, which I completed in 2021.

Through my academic studies and internships, I developed interests in statistics, data analytics, data visualization, and data integration. These further motivated me to pursue an industry project in ‘4D visualization of additively manufacturing parts’, which further fuelled my interest in CFD modelling & visualisation tools like ParaView & Ansys Fluent (version 2021R2, Ansys Inc., Canonsburg, USA).
