WORK EXPERIENCE:
Graduate Research Assistant
Texas A&M University August 2019 – December 2019
Developed a research plan and provided timely updates to supervisor through written reports and oral presentations. Ensured sufficient scientific pre-study is found in the project; presented results in public seminar, completed project and summarized results in form of scientific journal.
Research Project Title: Life Cycle Assessment of Mono-Crystalline solar PV system by Sima Pro
Data were collected using an LCI questionnaire. The LCA study was modeled on primary data collected from the rooftop solar power plant at Keshav Puram, New Delhi, India.
Data included annual production volumes, amount of raw material, distances and transportation mode for the raw material supply, amount of energy used, emissions to the environment, water consumption and waste product produced at the manufacturing plant.
More than 80% carbon footprint load comes from inverter, mono-Si PV cell and cables used in the system. In stratospheric Ozone depletion, terrestrial acidification and eutrophication; the impacts generated by PV cell, inverter and cables are nearly 85%. In fresh water ecotoxicity and Marine ecotoxicity; PV cell, inverter and cables account for 95% of total impacts. In ionizing radiation and water consumption categories, inverter alone accounts for around 90% of impacts.

ACADEMIC PROJECTS:
TKR College of Engineering, Hyderabad, India
Title: Assessment of Ambient Air Quality Scenario of Hyderabad City, India —By GIS
The aim of the study is to find out the extent of air pollution rise in Hyderabad city, India in a 7-year period from 2010 to 2016, using Geographical Information System (GIS). The data on concentration of air contaminants is obtained from the Telangana State Pollution Control Board and spatially analyzed in the GIS environment.
Title: Effect of Bottom Ash as Replacement of Fine Aggregation in Concrete
The main objective of the project work is to systematically study the effect of replacement of fine aggregate by bottom ash at 0%, 30% and 50% levels.

SEMINARS
Climate Models – It is important to note that climate modeling tools are instrumental towards understanding the trajectories of future climatic trends. Downscaling uses three approaches, namely Limited-area models, Grid Models, and Uniformly high-resolution atmospherics GCM. Dynamic scaling coupled with a series of regional climate models (RCMs) is responsible for simulating future climate prospects with the impact of global change.
Carbon Air Capture Solution – Conventional methods such as afforestation, air capture technologies are being used to achieve the goals and objectives. In its contribution to the development, Climeworks developed the carbon air capture technology and combined it with CarbFix. Blue Planet developed a technology that converts carbon dioxide gas to carbonates and uses the products to manufacture cement.

EXTRA CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES
