PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

Research Assistant, Institute for Micromanufacturing, Nov '06-Nov '08

Louisiana Tech

. Successfully conducted independent research on the synthesis of a novel

conducting polymer for application in organic thin film transistors

. Synthesized, analyzed and determined the possible structure of a novel

supramolecular hydrogen bonded complex

. Used various material characterization instruments which include SEM/EDX,

FTIR, UV-Vis, DSC, TGA and DTA to characterize organic and polymer

compounds

. Analyzed large amounts of data using software applications including MS

Excel and Sigma Plot

. Prepared research proposals, project progress reports and presentations

. Successfully documented the entire research work into a Master's

Dissertation

. Prepared Standard operating procedures (SOP) for various material

characterization instruments

. Placed orders for lab accessories and chemicals upon requirement

. Performed job duties in a multidisciplinary team environment

Process Engineering Intern, HPCL Visakha Refinery, India Nov '05-Jan '06

. Worked in a team of four and investigated the problem of a typical

emergency automatic shutdown of the Diesel Hydro Desulfurization (DHDS)

process plant

. Identified the root cause for shutdowns to be foaming resulting from

contamination of Amine System

. Monitored and analyzed the trend levels of different equipments in the

DHDS block

. Conducted hydrocarbon analysis experiments on samples from amine storage

tank and identified large quantities of hydrocarbon solution in the amine

storage tank

. Successfully solved the problem responsible for a loss of $400,000 during

each shutdown

. Investigated the absorption process in the DHDS plant extensively in

terms of detailed material and energy balance calculations and compared

them with the normal calculations

. Obtained training in reviewing and preparing PFD and P&ID diagrams using

Microsoft Visio

Research Intern, Indian Institute of Chemical Technology, May

India '05-Jul '05

. Conducted several experiments to synthesize TiO2 nanoparticles using Sol-

Gel technology

. Characterized the nanoparticles obtained using TEM, XRD, FT-IR and

TGA/DTA

. Optimized the synthesis process to obtain nanoparticles of desired

morphology and phase composition for application in dye sensitized solar

cells

. Documented the experimental protocol for synthesis of TiO2 nanoparticles

of desired properties

PROCESS OPTIMIZATION - ACADEMIC PROJECT

. Solved a tray optimization problem in a single distillation column for

the separation of a four component homogenous azeotropic mixture using

ASPEN PLUS simulation

. Used continuous optimization formulation and solved the problem using Non-

Linear Programming technique
