As a graduate student at the University at Buffalo School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, I am pursuing a Master of Science degree in Chemical Engineering with a focus on electrochemical engineering and electrocatalysis. I am working on developing and optimizing platinum group metal-based oxygen reduction reaction catalysts for proton exchange fuel cells, using various material synthesis techniques and electrochemical evaluations. I have successfully fine-tuned the core-shell structures of the catalysts to enhance their activity and stability compared to commercial Pt/C catalysts. Prior to joining UB, I gained valuable industry experience as a senior engineer at Larsen & Toubro, a leading engineering and construction company in India. I was involved in a methylene glycol project at IOCL, Paradip, a major oil refinery, where I handled the detailed engineering, on-site technical support, and procurement of the catalyst and chemical package costing nearly around 1 million US dollars. I also obtained certifications in business etiquettes and advanced project management from Larsen & Toubro. I am passionate about applying my skills and knowledge to solve real-world problems and contribute to sustainable development. I value teamwork, innovation, and diversity, and I am eager to learn from and collaborate with experts from different fields and backgrounds.
