UNIVERSITY AT BUFFALO, SUNY, NY,USA Jan 2011-Present Graduate Researcher Estimation of Vapor-Liquid Coexistence Curves of complex hydrocarbons and Ionic Liquids using Monte Carlo Simulation and Molecular Dynamics. Studied the Interfacial properties of Octane, Propanol, Cyclohexane, water, Squalane and Ionic Liquids using Monte Carlo Simulation. Obtained the Saturated pressures, Coexistence densities, Critical Density, critical Temperature and other Thermo physical Properties. Analyzed the data obtained to get a deeper understanding of the VLE curves which is paramount for any chemical Engineering process. Sep 2008-Apr 2009 Process Engineering Co-op Process development: Preparation and Characterization of Activated Carbon Developed a process to produce highly porous Activated Carbon from rice husk. Characterized Activated Carbon using BET technique, STM (Scanning Tunneling Microscope) and measured its porosity, Surface area etc. Prepared process flow diagram and scaled the process for industrial application. Optimized the procedure to achieve maximum possible yield at minimal cost and applied quality control techniques to achieve optimum product.

ACADEMIC EXPERIENCE
STATE UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK AT BUFFALO, NY,USA Design Optimization for the manufacture of microwave popcorn using lean six sigma principles. Applied DMAIC principle successfully to a 12-factor design (each factor with 2-levels). Conducted measure system analysis (MSA) to identify the variation due to gage. Performed Design of Experiment (DOE) to identify significant factors. Identified ideal setting for the significant factors to obtain optimum product quality and performed capability analysis to find the ability of process. Prepared work instructions, control plan and standardized the manufacturing process using Minitab. (Project Report)
NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, TRICHY, INDIA Nov 2009-May 2010 Design of a Cement Plant (Project Report) Carried out a detailed process design and economic evaluation of a cement plant. Prepared a Comprehensive report including Mass and Energy balances, Process control and instrumentation (P&ID), PFD, Plant Layout, Safety and Cost Estimation of the chemical plant Designed Rotary Kiln, Cyclone Separator and Gas Conditioning Tower used in the plant
INDIAN INSTITUTE OF SCIENCE, BANGALORE, INDIA May 2009-Jul 2009 Research Intern and Programmer (Project Report) Solution of Monovariate population balance equations using length as internal co-ordinate to study crystallization of Nano-sized particles Programmed a FORTRAN code to solve Population Balance Equation for a system of N Nano-sized particles by fixed pivot method using numerical technique Ranga-Kutta Method & Monte Carlo Simulation. Technique developed was computationally more accurate and required less computational effort. NIIT, CHENNAI, INDIA An advanced level course on Java Programming language and Web Design (J2EE)
