PROJECTS

 Enhancement in efficiency of Solar Cells Technology: Conventional Convex lenses Scope: To increase the efficiency of solar cells by trapping maximum amount of available light and thereby increasing the intensity of light, this in turn increases the photons striking the surface and thereby increases the current output.  Increasing Run-length of a Visbreaker Furnance, Essar Oil Ltd, Vadinar, May-June’08 Technology: Changes in Design, Chemicals inhibiting coke formation. Scope: To decrease coke formation, thereby increasing the Run-length of the Visbreaking furnace.  Dye Sensitized Solar Cells Technology: Photosynthesis (In Force) Scope: New generation solar cells, In contrast to conventional silicon photovoltaic devices, the dye solar cell converts light energy to electricity on a molecular level, similar to natural photosynthesis.  Dust Resistant films for Solar cells Technology: Nano-polymer coating (In Force) Scope: For Countries like India, Dust accumulation on solar cells is a serious problem, which decreases cell’s efficiency, the idea is to develop a economic nano-polymer dust-resistant layer which averts dust build up.

INDUSTRIAL TRAINING  Training in “Hari Industries, Agra” from 14th May 2007 to 12th June,2007, objective was to study various Unit Operation Equipments used in Paint industry.  Training in “Pee Cee Soap & Chemicals Pvt. Ltd.” From 20th Nov 2007 to 5th December 2007, objective various processes carried out in soap manufacture.  Training in “Essar Oil Ltd, Vadinar Gujarat” from 20th May 2008 to 7th June 2008, done project on “Visbreaker Furnace”.  Training in “Mazda Ltd, Ahmedabad, Gujarat” from 18th May 2009 to 27th June 2009, Objective was to study various design features involved in chemical engineering equipments.

ACADEMIC SEMINARS

 Nano-Electro-Mechanical-Systems(NEMS) Scope: NEMS hold promise to improve abilities to measure small displacements and forces at a molecular scale, and are related to nanotechnology and nanomechanics. Nanorobots, Nanocantilevers, Actuators etc. are different examples of NEMS devices.  E-waste Management Methods Scope: e-waste is a loose description of surplus, obsolete, broken or discarded electrical or electronic devices, which is very hazardous for environment, their management involves 3R’s viz… Reuse, Reduce & Recycle.  Clean Rooms Scope: A cleanroom is an environment, typically used in manufacturing or scientific research, that has a low level of environmental pollutants such as dust, airborne microbes, aerosol particles and chemical vapors.  Green Buildings Scope: Green building is the practice of increasing the efficiency with which buildings use resources energy, water, and materials while reducing building impacts on human health and the environment during the building's lifecycle, through better siting, design, construction, operation, maintenance, and removal.

SEMINARS/WORKSHOPS ATTENDED  Workshop on “Flash Works” organized by ISTE Student’s Chapter Nirma Institute of Tehnology, Ahmedabad.  Seminar on “Current Trends in Nanotechnology”, A National Level Seminar organized by Institute of Technology, Nirma University, Ahmedabad.  International Conference-cum-Workshop on Nanoscience & Nanotechnology organized by Ansal Institute of Technology, in collaboration with DST Govt. of India & North Dakota State University, USA.  Mock Placement Session, organized by INFOCRATS Club of Nirma University  Mock GD-PI Session, organized by ECO club of Nirma University.  Paper Presentation on “Application of MEMS” at Autofest’08 organized by SVNIT, Surat.  Attended Expert lecture on “Plasma Technology” at Institute of Tehnology, Nirma university Ahmedabad.  Attended Expert lecture on “Solid waste Landfill management” at Institute of Tehnology, Nirma university, Ahmedabad.
