Career Objective-
To work in an organization where, I can efficiently explore my expertise and skills in such a way
that makes significant contribution towards financial elevation of the organization and my status
as well.
Professional Summary-
1) Exposure to ISO 17025-2005:
Working in an NABL accredited testing and research laboratory as per the requirements
mentioned in ISO 17025- 2005. Know-how as follows-
 Preparation of quality manual
 Preparation of quality procedure
 Development of in house test methods and their validation
 Uncertainty calculation for mechanical test parameters
 Inter lab comparison test
 Re-test and replicate test
 Internal and external calibration
 Reporting of test results as per relevant IS standards and British Standards
2) Material Characterization:
 UTM (Kalpak)- Mechanical test parameters such as Modulus of Elasticity, Modulus of
Rupture, Tensile Strength, Panel Shear Strength, Modulus of Rigidity, Compressive
Strength, Hardness
 Rotary Platform Abraser (TABER) - For abrasive resistance of pre-laminated medium
density fiber boards and pre-laminated particle boards.
 XRD (PANalitical X’Pert) - For phase composition, crystalline size, composition
variation of nano crystalline NiO powder and other in organic materials.
 SEM (JEOL)-Phase analysis and porosity distribution in porous functional ceramics.

2.  DC four probe electrical conductivity – Electrical characterization of NiO-YSZ anode for
SOFC under hydrogen atmosphere at 800-10000C.
 Laser Particle Diffractometer- Particle size analysis of NiO powder and other powders.
3) Research and Development: currently working on following R & D projects:
 “Development of durable fire retardant cum preservative coating for wood based panel
products and bamboo composites”
 “Efficacy study of the Booster additive as a partial substitution in both phenolic and
amino resin for manufacture of plywood”
 “Innovative and competitive technology for manufacturing of fire retardant adhesive for
wood based panel products”
 “Modification and efficacy study of wood protector, the Eco friendly wood preservative
for glue line treatment during manufacturing of plywood”
4) Publications:
a) Paper entitled as “Studies on Flame Retardancy Properties of a Novel Epoxy-Polysulphide
based Coating on Wood Panel Products and Bamboo Composites” by SC Sahoo, Amitava Sil, A.
Solanki published in IJISME ISSN: 2391-6386, Vol-3, Issue-1, December 2014
b) Paper entitled as “Enhancement of Fire Retardancy Properties of Plywood by Incorporating
Silicate, Phosphate and Boron Compounds as Additives in PMUF Resin” by SC Sahoo, Amitava
Sil, A. Solanki, PK Khatua published in IJCMM(2015) 11-15.
5) Technical specification of sophisticated equipments:
Prepared technical specification of UTM- 20 Ton, Temperature controlled Varying
Humidity Chamber, Rotary Platform Abraser, Flush Door Test Setup (As per IS: 2202(Part-1)-
1999) and other material characterization equipments.
6) M.Tech. Project:
In the project entitled as “Synthesis and Characterization of Anode Precursor Material
used in SOFC Application” NiO nano powder was synthesized by combustion method and NiO
powder was used as precursor material with YSZ to form NiO-YSZ anode for SOFC. Effect of
its microstructure and porosity on electrical and mechanical properties was studied.
