Summary
Driven by a results-focused approach, I leveraged my expertise in Continuous Manufacturing and Process Optimization at Air Liquide and Larsen & Toubro, enhancing production capabilities and efficiency. A fast learner with exceptional attention to detail, I excel in high-stakes environments, consistently delivering innovative solutions and fostering team collaboration. My passion for research and a deep yearning to create an impact by contributing to science and technology led me to pursue a PhD program at Rutgers, which is best known for its pharmaceutical research. At Rutgers, I work with the C-SOPS (Centre for Structured Organic Particulate Systems) under the supervision of Dr. Fernando Muzzio.
