RESEARCHEXPERIENCE
• Institute Graduate Fellow and Research Assistant Since 2010
Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology
(IIT), Kanpur India
Project Based on Characterization of Nanoparticles from Vehicular Emission in Urban
Atmosphere.
Accomplishment:
• The studies provide a preliminary assessment of fine particle pollution levels in Kanpur and
identify the predominant source (in terms of passenger car) of fine particle emissions in
Kanpur traffic. Concepts and parameters developed through this research are transferable to
any similar urban location where measurements of fine particles are scarce and health
impacts due to fine particles exposure have rarely been assessed.
• Research Associate 07/2009 - 04/2010
The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI), New Delhi
Project Based on Synthesis of fly ash supported transition metal catalysts for environmental
applications.
Accomplishment: Fly ash will be used as supportive catalyst with transition metals for
environmental applications as evaluation for carbon monoxide oxidation.
SPECIALIZED TRAINING
• Participated two days (4-5 October, 2013) workshop on “Air Dispersion Modeling” organized
by Envitrans Infosolutions Pvt. Ltd., New Delhi.
• Participated five days (19-23 May, 2014) short term course on “Traffic Data Collection
Methods and Technologies” organized by IIT Delhi, New Delhi under the sponsorship of
Quality Improvement Programme, AICTE, GOI.
WORKSHOP/SEMINAR
• Attend one day (20th February 2013) workshop on “Chemical Metrology: Challenges and
Opportunities in Gases & Aerosols” organized by CSIR-NPL and Metrology Society of
India (MSI).
