RESEARCH EXPERIENCE

1) Graduate Research Assistant (Chemical Engineering, University of Florida, Gainesville) Jan 2004- Present

Applied molecular simulations techniques such as Molecular dynamics, Monte Carlo, Brownian dynamics to study dynamics of self-assembly and structural transitions in surfactant systems

Developed a stochastic model for micelle formation and disintegration

Studied the mechanism of fusion of micelle

2) B.S. Project: Computational modeling of Pressure Swing Adsorption system.

Aug 2002- May 2003

Developed a model for online computer aided control system of Pressure Swing Adsorption system (PSA)

Successfully applied the wavelet method to make a sophisticated and accurate control system for PSA

3) Software Development Thermodynamic Property Estimator.

May 2002- Dec 2002

Developed software to predict the thermodynamic properties of single compound, binary and multi-component mixture. The software is being distributed with the book Chemical Engineering thermodynamics by Dr. Y. V. C. Rao.
