Current Research and Projects:
• Indicators for Minimizing Energy Consumption and GHG Emissions at
Wastewater Treatment Facilities. The main aim was to prepare a preliminary audit and develop indicators
which help to carry out energy efficient wastewater treatment.
• Near Surface Monitoring and Inverse Dispersion Modeling to Quantify GHG
emissions from MSW Landfill. The inverse dispersion model is applicable for various industries with many
numbers of sources and receptors.
• Estimation of GHG footprint for a Wastewater Collection and Treatment System.
The GHG emissions have a drastic effect on the environment and WWTP’s are one of the sources.
Responsibilities as environmental engineer include observing, analyzing and documentation of GHG trends for
City of Kenner’s (LA) WWTP.

Environmental Technology Panel (NSRP-SP1), New Orleans, February 10-12, 2010
• Presented and won 1st place for a technical paper on “Implosion of Buildings” at
state level symposium, Osmania University, India (Nov 2006)
• Presented and won 2nd place for technical paper on “Stone Columns” at National
Level symposium, Osmania University, India (Feb 2007)
• Lead a team of motivated students in Organizing our college annual cultural and
technical fest “SAMAVARTHAN” and “CESA”, Osmania University, India (2006 and 2007)
• National Level Chess Competition participant, Hyderabad, India (July 2005)
