PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE:

Institute for Research and Technology Transfer (IRTT)

Student Research Assistant Farmingdale State College SUNY, Farmingdale, NY Oct 2014 – May 2015

Designed, manufactured and tested hydrogen fuel cell and purifier plates for increasing efficiency and throughput of the complete biomass gasification system

Developed and implemented emergency protocols for hydrogen safety so as to ensure safety of the employees and students working in IRTT

Performed biomass system integration with new techniques and tested it. Operated and Maintained Gasification Unit for the production of syngas from wood chips

Operated and Maintained Gas Chromatography system for analyzing the syngas composition

Boosted gasification unit’s performance by designing new layout for TAR purifiers, thereby increased the purity of syngas by 20%. Operated and Maintained Colorimeter to identify the purity of syngas

Implemented the principles of Design of Experiments to perform thermal spray on stainless steel sheets as a weight effective solution to the conventional hydrogen fuel cell plates. This project was a part of General Motors (GM) research in hydrogen fuel cells

Utilized polyoxometalate (POM) with metallic catalyst, oxidized and removed Carbon Monoxide from the SYNGAS and enhanced the power output in PEM Fuel Cell

Worked on the CNC milling operation and other fuel cell projects in Cincinnati Milacron Milling Machine

Created an efficient workplace and improved processes by preparing process mapping and flowcharts for critical operations, hence made the processes run more effectively

Worked with colleagues to identify the problematic machines/parts, thereby made decisions on purchase

Responsible for operating supplies through established vendors, managed and helped the students/colleagues with their related work

Won Students First Grants for US $2500; helped colleagues to prepare the concept paper for it. Worked on the R&D concept papers for US $500,000 grant and helped the Director of IRTT to submit those to USDA, DoD

UNDERGRADUATE EXPERIENCE:

Teaching Assistant – Department of Mathematics, Farmingdale State College SUNY, NY Sept 2014 – May 2015

Worked part-time as a mathematics tutor under Dr. Kalemaris in the Department of Mathematics

Helped her to provide assistance to the students related to mathematics in Fall 2014 and Spring 2015

Industrial Trainee P.S.G Institute of Advanced Studies, Coimbatore, TN, India July 2011 – April 2014
