Educational Background:
B.E. in Chemical Engineering, SVIT, Chincholi, Nasik, Maharashtra- Class of 2009
M.Tech. in Chemical Engineering, Dr. B.A.T.U. Lonere, Raigad, Maharashtra- Class of 2011
Currently pursuing PhD in Chemical Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology Madras, Chennai
Research Interests:
Currently I am working on mass transfer and reactions in microchannels and specifically my focus is on liquid-liquid extraction and phase transfer catalysis reactions in microchannels.
My previous works include work on "Vacuum membrane distillation for desalination" as part of my undergraduate study and "Recovery of Trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) from aqueous stream through esterification using packed bed reactor and reactive distillation" as part of my graduate study.
