Details
I hold a Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from the Institute of Chemical Technology (ICT), Mumbai, India, completed in March 2016 under the guidance of Prof. Bhavik R. Bakshi and Prof. Aniruddha B. Pandit. Prior to this, I earned my M.Chem.Engg. from ICT Mumbai, and a Bachelor's degree in Chemical Engineering from Anuradha Engineering College, Amravati University.My doctoral research focused on Industrial Ecology, where I developed expertise in life cycle assessment, industrial ecology, and thermodynamic system analysis. My research provided novel insights into India's developmental metabolism and assessed municipal solid waste treatment alternatives in Indian megacities. I conducted comparative analyses of waste management technologies, including incineration, plasma gasification, and landfilling, specifically considering India's unique tropical conditions and waste characteristics.
I bring several years of industrial experience, specializing in waste treatment process design and engineering. My expertise includes:
Developing innovative technology platforms for recovering chemicals from industrial wastewater
Implementing and upgrading facility infrastructure
Preparing Basic Engineering Packages, Process Flow Diagrams, and Material Balance calculations
Process optimization and troubleshooting
Operating sophisticated analytical instruments (GC, UV-VIS Spectrophotometer, Flame photometer, Auto Titrator)
Throughout my career, I have demonstrated strong research, analytical, and communication skills, with proven ability to work both independently and collaboratively on large-scale projects. My combination of academic credentials and practical industry experience makes me well-suited for positions requiring technical expertise and innovative problem-solving skills."
