• Thesis research consisted of first of its kind investigation to examine role of nanofluids on heat transfer characteristics and CHF enhancement for rapidly increasing transient power conditions
• Investigated effects of surface roughness, surface hydrophilicity and boiling time on heat transfer coefficient and CHF for steady state boiling of both water and nanofluid
• Performed post-test analyses on heaters to identify surface attributes modified by nanoparticles during steady state and transient boiling, their corresponding effects on pool boiling and CHF enhancements, and time.

Cambridge, MA, US

• Carried out post-test analyses on solid oxide electrolytic cells to investigate mechanisms for degradation in rate of their hydrogen production
• Evaluated microscopy and spectroscopy techniques to create novel method of determining mechanisms of electrolytic cell degradation
• Employed spectroscopy to identify phase changes, in bulk material and interfaces (on a micron and nano scale), to identify root causes of 40% decline in electrolytic cell performance

Boston, MA, US

• Built factor-based return attribution models for European corporate bonds by developing quantitative models using MATLAB
• Developed specific-, factor- and total-risk models for European corporates and tested model performance for random portfolios by comparing realized portfolio risk to historical risk. I was able to estimate 60-day.
• Performed portfolio optimization to generate bond portfolios with specified levels of specific and factor risk
• Models developed were implemented phase at Loomis, and used for active portfolio risk managemen
