CURRENT EMPLOYMENT

Employed at HATCH.

PAST POSITION

M.A.Sc., Department of Chemical Engineering & Applied Chemistry, University of Toronto, Canada.

EDUCATION AND TRAINING

    B.Tech. Chemical Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati, India, 2014
    Microfluidics Engineer, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, India, 2014-15

RESEARCH PROJECT

My research involves experimental study to investigate the formation of sub-micron water droplets in bitumen during bitumen extraction process in oil-sands industry. Although the water volume in bitumen product is small (3-4%), however it contains chlorides which causes the formation of acids in the hydrogenation process for bitumen upgrading. We are exploring the process variables range within which the formation of these sub-micron water droplets can be prevented.
