Experience


Working on Explanatory AI in the Intelligent Systems Laboratory in the Dept. of Chemical Engineering under Dr. Rajagopalan Srinivasan

Performing a Systematic Literature Review to study the effectiveness of several technological interventions in Horticulture Waste Management, their impact in Air Quality and also on drafting the policy based on this research to help several Urban Local Bodies(ULB’s) in India to use and integrate these technologies to use effectively.

Working on a project of unlocking the potential of sustainable catalysts that can be used in Plasma Reactors for regeneration, with an aim in developing Green Economy Implementations. Successfully orchestrated a multi-disciplinary project involving terahertz spectroscopy characterization and integration with a Dielectric Barrier Discharge Plasma Reactor. Performed the Identification & characterisation of suitable catalytic materials using Terahertz Spectroscopy, analyzing the obtained data plots using MATLAB & Origyn software for the required frequency intensification and lower water absorption coeffecient. Leveraged data analysis insights to make informed decisions on material suitability for the reactor, leading to enhanced catalyst regeneration outcomes. Designed a Dielectric Barrier Discharge Setup with multiple electrodes that can generate plasma with relatively lower voltage and frequencies. Used Crystalline Silica spheres of 1.5um, 2.5um & 5um for finding its impact on Plasma generation on DBD surface.

•Received training course in the field of Biochemical Engineering by Indian Institute of Chemical Engineers’ internship cum training program. •Learned about the use of Biochemistry in field of Chemical Engineering and the various sectors where it is being utilised, learning through the most experienced faculties and managers from the field.

● Worked under Prof. Sreedevi Upadhyayula on the field of Photo-electrocatalysis and its use in conversion of Co2 into various hydrocarbon fuels and various other products through replicating artificial photosynthesis. ● Research on the Reactor Design of a photoelectrocatalytic reactor, considering various parameters affecting output and efficiency like membrane, light source, electrolyte, anode and cathode fabrication, batch and continuous type of reactors. ● Learned about different reactors and fabrication methods to ensure a green method of Co2 reduction and how to generate maximum efficiency including economic factors as well.
● Selected for Summer Research Fellowship at IIT Delhi, one of India’s top Technical Institutes under the Chemical Engineering Domain under Prof. Sudip K Pattanayek. ● Working on LBM Model of flow, slip conditions and the various aspects related to fluid flow modeling. Implementing C/C++ to simulate single and multi phase flows of Newtonian and Non-Newtonian fluids through pipes and later onto nanotubes
• Administered the social media handles of NEO to market the various exams and courses held by the company. • Handled the networking for the campaign to gather maximum entrants in NEO Examination.

• Primary content writer for the social media page (@littledelhistories) on Instagram. • Learnt various strategy and methods for the creation of content and various techniques of Social Media Optimization.
