OBJECTIVE

To be a responsible scientist/engineer with emphasis on health, safety

and environment.

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

2007 - Current, Senior Scientist, Phillips 66 (ConocoPhillips), Fluid

Catalytic Cracking (FCC) and Hydroprocessing group

. Commissioned Davison Circulating Riser (DCR) for fluid catalytic

cracking (FCC) experiments to help refinery units for process

modifications and feed selection studies

. Worked on emission issues from refineries and adopted and

suggested new technologies to comply the EPA regulations

. Conducted process modification studies by including Eagle Ford and

Bakken crudes and studied their impact on FCC products and over

all refinery profit

. Developed novel FCC additives and evaluated in DCR

. Worked on FCC related fouling issues and resolved

. Supported premium coke business in selecting the right slurry oil

feed stocks enabling value

. Developed novel adsorbents for refinery waste water treatment

especially for arsenic and selenium removal

. Mentored summer interns, new-hires and lab technicians

. Supported refineries with post audit studies of FCC catalysts

using pilot plants to account for the enabled value

. Developed new value added product from waste FCC catalyst fines

. Evaluated hydro processing catalysts from different vendors and

provided technical recommendations to the refinery units to choose

the best catalyst enabling millions of dollars in savings

. Studied the effect of stacking CoMo/NiMo/CoMo catalysts on hydro

processing of various feeds and enabled values to the refineries

. Developed laboratory protocol for stability studies of hydro

treating catalysts

. Lead the project to regenerate spent hydroprocessing catalysts at

vendors site and re-use at different refineries

. Invented a process to upgrade slurry oils using chromatographic

reactor systems (US Patent: 201********)

2004 - 2007, Scientist, Delphi Catalyst, Diesel Product Engineering,

Catoosa, OK 74015

. Catalyst development (Formulation) using metal-exchanged

zeolites and mixed metal oxides (Acidic oxides) for Selective

Catalytic Reduction (SCR) of NOx using NH3 for diesel

application

. Submitted 2 Record of Inventions (ROI) on Redox and Acidic

oxides along with zeolites for SCR applications

. Catalyst powder and binder ratio optimization for coating on to

honey-comb ceramic substrates with optimum performance

. Supervised chemists and worked with different groups for product

development

. Mentored lab technicians and new-hires

2001-2003, Apyron Technologies Inc., Atlanta, GA

Project Manager (Supervisor Dr. Frank Daly)

. Development of commercial Arsenic removal product for treating

drinking water and bench mark studies

. Responsible for development of catalysts for Selective Catalytic

Reduction (SCR) of NOx applications in automobiles and power

plants

Development of metal-incorporated alumina as novel SOx trap for

mobile/stationary exhaust application; federally funded SBIR

Phase-I project

. Developed efficient three-way catalyst through an unique way

using metal oxide including titania, proprietary oxides and

aluminum oxide
