I have completed B.Tech in chemical engineering with first division from Harcourt Butler Technological Institute Kanpur, India and M.Tech. in chemical engineering with first division from Indian Institute of Technology Bombay Delhi, India.
At present, I am doing PhD in chemical engineering on “Measurement of concentration Profiles in Thin Film Multicomponent Polymer Coatings" from Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, India. This work Involves study Polystyrene - p-Xylene- Tetrahydrofuran coating, PMMA- Ethylbenzene - Tetrahydrofuran coating, Polystyrene - Tetrahydrofuran coating, Polystyrene -p-xylene coating, PMMA -Tetrahydrofuran coating, PMMA - Ethylbenzene coating. We have concluded that none of the multicomponent polymer -solvent-solvent diffusion theory is able to predict the drying behavior of the coatings. Experimental study was conducted using Confocal Laser Raman Spectroscopy. Free volume parameters were optimized from drying experiments using MATLAB 7.0.
My M.Tech. Project was “Design and Study of Photoelectrochemical Reactor for Hydrogen Production from pulp and paper industry waste effluent ". Hydrogen is one of renewable source of high energy content.
I am looking for postdoctoral fellowship and can join after March 2009.
