- Led the technical team for the successful qualification of TEOS product with a key semiconductor customer leading to a 40% jump in sales.
- Set up a brand new clean lab - with a capability of detecting trace metals up to parts per trillion (ppt) level -developed operational procedures and trained personnel that annually saves $250,000 for the business.
- Optimized main plant process for TEOS production that is being used for sourcing and qualifying new vendors for raw materials.
- Instrumental in scaling up colloidal silica in the 500-gallon reactor. Supported lab-scale synthesis, characterization and providing data to the process team and finally supported the plant trial.
- Optimized chemical pretreatments for biomass that leads to the generation of materials that increase the output of biodiesel by 25%.
- Processed biomaterials towards development of composite materials that are being tested in the production of car bumpers.
- Led the safety efforts in the laboratory, organized process hazard analysis before a new reaction and/or process. Maintained a chemical hygiene plan, wrote SOPs and managed staff training records.
- Trained junior scientists, international fellows and undergraduate students in lab processes and instrumentation.
● Proposed, designed & synthesized nickel-based electrocatalyst that performed hydrogen oxidation at ambient temperature and pressure and at the same time reduced overpotential. This work has potential to use sustainable catalysts in hydrogen fuel cells replacing third row metals.
● Developed a novel transition metal-doped optical materials replacing lanthanide-doped ones.
● Developed sustainable and selective iron catalysts for hydrocarbon oxidation using hydrogen peroxide eliminating non-selectivity of Fenton’s reagent.
● Utilized the iron-based oxidants in the purification of water of persistent pollutants and hardy pathogens.
