About Me
I hold a PhD in process metallurgy from Swinburne University of Technology, Australia, and my master’s and bachelor’s degrees in Metallurgical and Materials Engineering from prestigious institutions in India and Germany. I have three years of teaching experience and a proven track record of success in the R&D sector. I have extensive experience and skills in high temperature experimentation, material characterization, thermodynamic modelling, kinetic evaluation, and emission analysis.
Over the past four years, I have been working tirelessly towards decarbonizing the steelmaking industry. I am highly motivated to conduct research on carbon-neutral steelmaking, and I understand the challenges and opportunities in this field. During my PhD, I invented a ground-breaking new process for magnetite ore agglomeration called the Lime-Magnetite Pellet (LMP) route, which has the potential to reduce carbon emissions from traditional blast furnace route by upto 18%. I have also conducted extensive research on solar agglomeration and solar smelting of iron ores, exploring the potential of solar flux applications in ironmaking.
I have worked with a range of prestigious organizations and companies, and I am always seeking out new opportunities to collaborate and make a difference. So if you're looking for a passionate and innovative expert in process metallurgy, look no further than me!
