About

Experienced R&D Scientist with 10+ years in chemical engineering, specializing in surface treatments, plating technologies, and sustainable solutions for clean energy applications. Expertise in PFAS-free and BPA-free post-treatments, electroless/electrolytic plating, and managing complex R&D projects from concept through delivery. Proven ability to lead cross-functional teams and deliver high-impact, eco-friendly innovations in the materials science and electronics sectors. Published 7 papers in leading journals such as PNAS (IF 10) and Extreme Mechanics Letters (IF 4.5), along with 5+ conference papers. Recipient of the prestigious Peebles Award from the Adhesion Society, USA (2014), for excellence in adhesion science. Extensive hands-on experience in bio-inspired adhesives, anti-microbial coatings, and specialty chemical formulations for electroplating. Key skills include Surface and Interface Science, Adhesion, Friction, and Soft Matter, backed by strong expertise in Chemical Engineering principles (mass transfer, thermodynamics, and reaction engineering). With a Ph.D., M.Tech, and B.Tech from IIT, I’m also a certified project manager and hold a Lean Six Sigma Green Belt. Proficient in JMP and highly skilled in Design of Experiments (DOE), I use data-driven methodologies to optimize processes and enhance product quality
