Experience
? An investigation into the conversion of a catalyzed batch hydrogenation process to a continuous mode of operation (Internship, Pfizer Asia Pacific Pte. Ltd.) 2006
The project involved the development of a suitable kinetic model for the lab-scale hydrogenation process to aid in the design of a feasible continuous reaction system, followed by an in-depth research into potential continuous technologies, including novel reactors and reactor configurations, catalysts and novel reaction chemistries. This was then summarized by a recommendation of two feasible scale-up candidates for the company to choose from.
Projects
? Fabrication, characterization and modeling of the in-vitro release of Paclitaxel loaded PLGA foams prepared using pressure quench method employing pressurized CO2 June 2006
This ongoing project involves the development of porous PLGA foams (for tissue engineering and drug delivery applications) through a novel pressure quench technique followed by the mathematical modeling of the in-vitro release of the therapeutic agent, Paclitaxel from the continuously eroding polymer matrix structure.
? Cardiac Tissue Engineering using nano-structured scaffolds, review (SMA 5421: Nanostructured materials course) 2006
The review covered research into nano-scale scaffold fabrication techniques for cardiac tissue growth. It elucidated on the advantages of using electrospun fibers for the seeding of cardiomyocytes and embryonic stem cells and discussed techniques for incorporating bio-active agents for cellular proliferation and migration along with physical and electrical cues for stimulating directional tissue growth.
? Cancer stem cells, their role in onco-genesis and their treatment using Aptamer based therapeutics (SMA 5422: Special topics in Biotechnology) 2006
This project involved research into the theories behind cancer neogenesis and in the development of a protocol for verifying the stem cell based hypothesis and the isolation and amplification of Aptamers that can be conjugated with chemotherapeutic drugs for efficiently binding to suitable biomarkers present on cancer stem cells for targeted drug therapy.
? Design of an expression vector to produce the human GDNF protein in a mammalian cell 2005
The project involved the design of an expression vector that could produce the human Glial cell Derived Neurotrophic Factor (GDNF) protein, (crucial for the survival and differentiation of neurons) when transfected into a mammalian cell. This was done in tandem with a bicistronic expression of a reporter protein which could aid in the quick identification of cells containing the vectors having the GDNF sequence.
? ?Techno-Economic Feasibility Survey? on the production of Acetone from n-Propene 2004
This project involved a Techno-Economic Feasibility Survey on the production of Acetone (one of the most important commercial laboratory solvents), from n-Propene. The survey explored the technical and commercial viability of producing the product from its raw materials through the aforementioned reaction path. The results were presented in a seminar lecture and a comprehensive report on the topic was submitted.
? Fabrication of a Parabolic Concentrating Type Solar Water Heater 2004
The project involved the design and fabrication of a novel solar water heater that employed a parabolic mirror as a solar collector. The unique collector profile gave a lager insolation capture area as compared to a traditional Flat plate Collector. The solar water heater is presently installed at the roof of the Chemical Engineering department, B.U. and is in full working condition.
? Seminar report on Bionics, the radical field merging Medicine and Engineering entitled, ?Optobionics: A Vision to Restore Sight? 2003
The seminar consisted of a complete system level study of an electronic prosthetic device that could interface with eyes of people who had become blind due to degenerative eye diseases and enable them to see again. It focused on the work done by Professor Marc Humayun (MBBS, PhD Biomedical Engineering) of John Hopkins University, USA and founder, Second Sight corp. on the analysis of the problem and the subsequent design of a bionic eye as the solution.
Interests:
? Organizing member, ?CHEMFEST 2001?, the annual cultural and literary event of the Chemical Engineering department, B.U., Brazil
? An avid Soccer player, I was part of the Chemical Engineering team which won 1st place in the Sports meet of ?Zephyr: College Fest 2003?.
? I like reading novels, especially with a Sci-Fi touch to them.
? I am a ?People? person, and get along well with everyone.
