Research Interests
I gain experience in the field of Naphtha Reforming Process and CO2 Conversion Process, overall working experience twenty four years in Light Stock Processing Division. I am looking after Micro rectors and Bench scale reactors. I am also participating for maintenance and trouble shooting of the reactors. I have participated in various sponsored R&D projects along with CSIR/ In-house projects for catalyst testing in reactors which were successfully delivered. My role is to participate along my team in entire cycle of experiment like experimental planning, reactor readiness, conducting experiments, data generation and data compilation. I also actively participated in implementation of ISO 9001-2015 in our area.
