WORK EXPERIENCERESEARCH EXPERIENCE (7th April 2018 to till now)2nd August 2021 onwards: Project Scientist, IIT Kanpur, India.1st August 2018 to 31st July 2021: SRA, CSIR ‘Pool Scientist’, IIT Kanpur, India.7th April 2018 to 21st July 2018: Senior Project Engineer, IIT Kanpur, India.I have performed many experimental investigations to develop alternative (alcohols and DME) fuelled engines. I have worked closely with the doctoral researcher and lab technician to maintain the operation of the engine testing facilities and instrumentations. I have mentored many master's, Ph.D., and undergraduate students. I have project writing and project report preparation experience. I have experience in project writing for a grant from industries and research supporting government institutions. Some Projects I led are as follows-• “Prototype Development of DME (Dimethyl ether) Fuelled Tractor" in Industrial collaboration with Tractors and Farm Equipment (TAFE) Limited India. • “Development of Methanol Fuelled (dual-fuel) Engines” I have completed the project sponsored by CSIR-HRDG, in which I have successfully developed methanol fuelled Genset by replacing 90%diesel with methanol.• NITI Aayog Methanol Economy related project “Development of methanol fuelled turbocharged CRDI engine.”• Material compatibility, fuel injection system design, and tribological solution for applying alternative fuels (methanol and DME) in engines.• Advanced combustion technology, RCCI (reactivity control compression ignition technique) for applying low reactivity fuels (gasoline and alcohols) in CI engines to improve combustion efficiency, brake thermal efficiency, and lower harmful emissions.RESEARCH INTEREST • Alternative Fuels (Alcohols, DME, H2, CNG)• Advanced Combustion Technology• Emission Characterization• Spray Characterization• LASER Ignition• Fuel Injection System Development for Gaseous Fuels (H2, CNG, DME)• Material Compatibility and Design Consideration for Alternative Fuels• IC Engine Tribology• Tribology, Nanomaterials, Polymers, Composites, and CoatingSKILLS• 3D Simulation• Spray Characterization (Macro and Micro)• ECU Tuning• Eddy Current and Transient Dynamometer• Engine Exhaust Particulate Sizer (EEPS)• Combustion and Emission Analyzer• Various Transducers and Sensors• Particulate Matter Sampling and SEM/TEM Characterization• 3D Profiler, AFM, Design, and development of Tribometer, Soft and Hard Coatings, Tribology
