ACADAMIC PROJECTS
Deposition and characterization of doped Diamond Like Carbon(DLC) films June, 2016- Present
 Deposition of doped-DLC film using magnetron sputtering.
 Characterization of deposited films using SEM, FTIR, EDS and Raman spectroscopy.
Cathodic protection of underground pipelines using cathodic protection techniques May, 2016
 Detailed study of types of underground corrosion and its prevention using two types of cathodic protection.
Development of Low density high strength concrete using artificial lightweight aggregate Aug, 2014- May, 2015
 Thorough study of production of artificial light weight aggregates using various raw materials.
 Used various equipment such as jaw crusher, ball mill, disc pelletizer and laboratory furnace for production of LWA
