EDUCATION

MS: Chemical Engineering [GPA: 3.625/4.00] Aug 2017 Lamar University, Beaumont, TX

B. Tech.: Chemical Engineering [GPA: 7.22/10.00] May 2014 S.G.G.S. Institute of Engineering & Technology, Nanded, India PATENTS

Equipment Design for different reactions Aug 2013 – May 2014 Developed compact equipment for acidification, neutralization and screening of processes in one vessel and Conducted feasibility tests on the designed equipment for cottonseed delinting process Developed the new process of delinting of cottonseed Aug 2013 – May 2014 The new process in cottonseed delinting which uses Caustic Soda instead of Ammonia (used as neutralizer in industry adopted method) because Ammonia is harmful and costly TECHNICAL PROJECTS

Versatile Resilient Engineered Materials from Mycelia Jan 2017 – Present

• Worked with Dr. David Cocke, Professor at Lamar University on Creative Synthesis & Innovators DNA Model to find innovative solutions for troubleshooting and engineering problems.

• Researched on Artificial leather which is manufactured from ecofriendly method which includes collagen and mycelia.

Self-Healing and Anticorrosive Coating Containing Polyurea/PU/LO Microcapsules Aug 2016 – Dec 2016

• Synthesis polyurea/polyurethane polymer shell and linseed oil inside of the microcapsules.

• Designed experiments and analyzed data; prepared SOP. Model Predictive Control Jan 2016 – Aug 2016

• A process is conducted by performing a step test, creating cases for step identification, creating a model file, LP costs, and conducting move suppressions.

• Use a model to make control moves based on the future predicted behavior of the process instead of relying solely on feedback from the current process measurement. Modeling the Process of Propylene Glycol Production Aug 2015 – Dec 2015

• This process is to model a CSTR reactor to achieve 94% conversion of reactant.
