Universal Instruments Corporation
Developed an electrochemical approach to quantify oxidation on gallium-based liquid-metal thermal interface materials. Used potentiostatic testing, SEM/EDS, XRD, titration, and thermal cycling to study how surface chemistry relates to thermal performance.
Feb 2024 — Jun 2024
Arora Iron & Steel Rolling Mills
Investigated billet surface defects and nitrogen pickup using microscopy, SEM/EDS, chemical analysis, and structured root-cause methods. Supported process improvements in a production steel environment.
Jun 2023 — Sep 2023
Mishra Boilers
Analyzed project and sales workflows, identified operational bottlenecks, and helped translate business data into practical process recommendations for an industrial engineering company.
Selected projects
