I evaluate the commercial potential of Deep Tech research inventions and perform market analysis to identify immediate market applications for the advanced technologies.

* Led the process scope of $100M greenfield manufacturing project with team of 5 engineers to design, procure, and construct detergent production unit delivering scheduled commissioning with top safety results of 12M safety hours across India Managed cross-functional team of 20 members from R&D and engineering departments across 3 continents to improve process design resulting in reduction of equipment lead time by 10% and cost savings of $120K Analyzed and resolved design issues with 10 original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) resulting in 30% fewer installation issues at the manufacturing plant, translating into savings of $40K Headed a team of 25 technicians to perform installation qualification and operational qualifications activities resulting in successful commissioning of manufacturing process leading to additional revenue of $200M

AquaBattery is a deep-tech company working towards revolutionizing sustainable energy storage using a patented battery technology that uses saltwater as the storage medium. At AquaBattery, I am leading Product and R&D teams to advance the technology from validation to product demonstration in relevant environment.

* Recitation leader for the course “Principles of Chemical Engineering” at Auburn University for 4 semesters with the responsibility of training 20+ students in each class on problem-solving methods and inculcating an inquisitive attitude among students Lab Instructor for the course "Computer Aided Design" at Auburn University for one semester with the responsibility of helping a class of 30 students to solve the assignment problems

* Samsung Engineering India is involved in execution of various Engineering Procurement & Construction (EPC) projects worldwide in the field of Refinery, Petrochemical, Oil & Gas, Fertilizer and Industrial Plant. During my tenure, I was involved in three different Detailed Engineering projects. * Responsibilities: * Understanding process flow diagrams. * Generation of Piping & Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs). * Hydraulic calculations, load calculation and Pressure Safety Valve sizing, Pressure Vessel Sizing. * Preparation of documents- Equipment List, Hazardous Source List, Equipment Datasheets. * Fluid properties data validation using ASPEN HYSIS. * Visits to plant construction site (IOCL, Panipat) for witnessing commissioning activities.

* Acquired expertise in synthesis and chemistry of nanomaterials for energy storage applications and hands-on experience with materials characterization techniques (SEM, TEM, XPS, Raman, FTIR, BET, CV, EIS, etc.) * Improved processing technique to synthesize 3D porous graphene electrodes resulting in 20% increase in energy storage capability; established deep understanding of molecular interactions among material interfaces * Collaborated with external research group to demonstrate successful working of Lithium-Sulfur battery constructed from 30% cheaper raw materials produced by sustainable manufacturing route * Developed a new chemical process to clean water resulting in 50% increase in energy efficieny (patent pending) * Investigated structure-property relationship of nanomaterials that resulted into new understanding that surface area of 3D graphene is dependent on the particle size of precursor material - graphite
