It is my firm belief that the deepest desires are emblazoned unconsciously at childhood. I
grew up watching my father work as an Oil Technologist in an edible oil refinery. He would
regularly take me along with him to the refinery to explain the processes involved. My
curiosity was kindled when I saw how cotton seeds which were fed into machines at one end
of the industry were miraculously turned into edible oil at the other. The size and sound of
huge machinery left me wondering what exactly was happening inside those pieces of
equipment which converted raw materials into finished goods. This was the time I was
introduced to the fascinating field of Chemical Engineering and the idea of pursuing the road …show more content…
I am especially interested in
Momentum Transfer, Chemical Reaction Engineering and Transfer Operations. I have
performed well in six semesters and I consistently rank in top ten percent of the class with a
CGPA of 9.02 out of 10 Point scale.
In my second year of Engineering, I participated in an industrial problem solving event titled
Delta-T sponsored by Tata Steel Ltd. I consider this as my first step into field of chemical
engineering. I developed a Spiral Shell and Tube heat exchanger to achieve higher heat
transfer rates. Even though I could not make it to the top three, the competition served me a
good learning experience and exposed me to the practical problems faced in the industry. In
my third year, I participated in Shell Ideas 360, a global competition conducted by Shell
Petroleum. I was a member of a three member team which designed a smart tap. Our work
was appreciated for its simplicity and portability. I was responsible for design and analysis of
the Smart Tap using Creo Parametric, a design software.
My interest in modelling and simulation was first nucleated when I successfully completed a
research project under the guidance of Dr.T.Ramamohan, Chief Scientist, …show more content…
Realising the need for a dedicated technical student association to encourage new and
innovative chemical engineering ideas, I took the initiative to form this Technical Team. In
its very first year, the team has been endowed with the coveted responsibility of suggesting
ideas to the Municipal Corporation of my city in realising our Prime Minister’s vision of
transforming the city into a smart city. Furthermore, I am an active member of TAKE A
LEAP, Environmental activists ' club of NIT Trichy. I played a pivotal role in Green
Plantation Drive, Campus Clean up Drive, Go Green Campaign and various other initiatives
by this club. To reduce paper wastage and reuse the printed sheets, we found a viable Eco-
friendly solution by introducing the Spiral bound notebooks which became extremely popular
with the student community.
I have taken up three online courses offered by Coursera and edX on Nuclear Science and
Technology, Thermodynamics and Energy 101. They have left me greatly impressed with the
foreign education system and reiterated my belief that the Netherlands is a leading
