Key details
Dr Snehil Srivastava
Postdoctoral Research Assistant
Dr Snehil Srivastava joined the University of Greenwich in December 2024 as a Postdoctoral Researcher under the supervision of Dr Timothy Reis, working on the Lattice Boltzmann Method for Compressible Multiphase Flows. Prior to this, she worked as a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Indian Institute of Technology Madras for six months, where her research focused on the Study of Thin Gap Rheology under Flow Confinement using the Lattice Boltzmann Method.
Snehil completed her Bachelor of Science (BSc) from Lucknow University, India, and her Master of Science (MSc) in Mathematics from Integral University, Lucknow, where she was the University Topper (Gold Medallist) in 2017. Following her MSc, she was awarded the prestigious DST-INSPIRE Fellowship by the Department of Science and Technology (DST), Government of India. She received her PhD in Mathematics from the Indian Institute of Technology Tirupati, India, in 2024, where her doctoral research focused on the Hyperbolic Lattice Boltzmann Method for Heat Conduction Problems with Phase Change.
She has worked for five years as a Teaching Assistant, supporting several undergraduate and postgraduate mathematics courses, including Analysis, Algebra, Numerical Analysis, Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs), and Partial Differential Equations (PDEs). In addition, has conducted laboratory sessions involving programming in C, C++, Python, and MATLAB, helping students strengthen their computational skills alongside theoretical learning.
Snehil's primary research interests lie in the areas of numerical analysis, fluid dynamics, and partial differential equations, with a particular focus on the Lattice Boltzmann Method and its applications to multiphase flows, rheology, and phase change problems.
