Biography

My academic journey in chemical engineering paved the way for enriching experiences. As a
former Project Associate at IIT Madras, I delved into industrial research, equipping me with
invaluable problem-solving skills. In my pursuit of knowledge, I contributed significantly to a
project sponsored by Dr. Reddy’s Laboratory and the Government of India, resulting in a
patented spinning disk atomization equipment for precise drug-encapsulated microparticle
production and another patent in a glass modular microfluidic device for microparticle
production. My MS research focused on sustainable practices, particularly recycling polystyrene
waste into microparticles and microfibers. Beyond academics, I'm a well-rounded individual
with interests spanning martial arts, event management, and creative writing.
