EDUCATION[pic]
University of Southern California - Los Angeles, CA
May 2011
Master of Science: Chemical Engineering. GPA 3.42
Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani- Goa, India
May 2009
Bachelor of Engineering (Hons) Chemical Engineering
ACADEMIC PROJECT[pic]
> PEM fuel cells and batteries, University of Southern California-
January- May, 2011
> Emission test control using a Horiba Gas Analyser at USC Engine lab,
University of Southern California- January 2010
Exhaust gas test analysis is done using a Horiba NOx, Oxygen and
Hydrocarbon analyzer for the exhaust gases of an inline 4 engine.
> Modeling and cost analysis and optimization of costs of methanol
distillation towers, Hetero Pharmaceuticals, India- August 2008
The project was the part of an ongoing project for designing and modeling
distillation towers for methanol- water and for the cost optimization and
cost analysis of the tower using optimization techniques.
> Boiling heat transfer analysis during high heat transfer operations
like quenching
and FEM simulation of thermal
models in IIT, Madras, May 2008
The project was based on boiling heat transfer and modeling of boiling heat
transfer process on the in-house developed FEM software (XFEM). It also
involved lab work for calculation of the boiling heat transfer coefficient
involved in quenching.
> Extraction of silver nanoparticles from bacteria for target drug
delivery systems at BITS, Pilani Goa Campus- August 2007
The project was a lab based project on cultivation and breeding of bacteria
for production of silver nanoparticles, used for target drug delivery in
the pharmaceutical industry
> Study of Approach flow system and production of paper at Seshasayee
Papers, India- June 2007
The project involved studying and understanding of paper making process and
chemical processes involved in the flow of the pulp and pressure
variations.
