Currently lead Chemical Engineering and Process Development research at
National Chemical Laboratory. My responsibilities include: identifying
important research problems, formulating project proposals, leading and
executing projects to achieve the set objectives, identifying needs of
industry and providing appropriate solutions, creating facilities for
experimental and computational research on key areas of chemical and
process engineering, supervising research students and project
assistants. The focus was on creating synergy among scientists working
on chemistry, catalysis and process and reactor engineering to create
greater value and greater impact on industry. Earlier I was leading a
dynamic team of more than 25 professionals at Tridiagonal Solutions to
develop computational models and software products for providing
engineering solutions.
Specialties: Process intensification,
multiphase reactors, multiphase flows with phase chance, computational
flow modeling, fluidic devices, physical modeling, team building

Deputy Director and Chairman, Chemical Engineering and Process Development Division
National Chemical Laboratory
– Present (4 years 8 months)
I
lead chemical engineering and process development research at CSIR –
NCL as Chairman of Chemical Engineering and Process Development
division. A large team of chemical engineers, process chemists and
material scientists work with me. I am working towards creating ambience
and framework to facilitate pursuit of excellence and work with purpose
at CSIR – NCL. I am attempting to consolidate various research projects
and link them to national agenda and relevant purpose. The focus is on
creating innovations and knowledgebase for solving relevant problems.
The focus is on creating synergy among scientists working on chemistry,
catalysis and process and reactor engineering to create greater value
and greater impact on industry.
As a deputy director of CSIR – NCL, I serve on many internal committees for establishing processes and systems for enhancing our performance. I am also a member of high level committee called STAC (science and technology administration committee) which comprises Director, NCL and a distinguished scientist besides me. The STAC decides most of the policy decisions at CSIR – NCL and advises Director, CSIR - NCL. Besides contributing to CSIR – NCL, I also serve and contribute to variety of committees at CSIR and national level.
I am personally spearheading our research efforts on following two areas:
1. Indus MAGIC: Develop modular, agile, intensified and continuous [MAGIC] processes and plants for fine and specialty chemicals
2. Mastflo: Mastering flows with phase change
The Indus MAGIC program is aimed at developing and transferring comprehensive solutions to fine and specialty chemicals industry. More than 50 scientists from 5 CSIR laboratories are participating in this program. I have also established industry consortium (Indus CPI) as well as a student’s program (Indus Scholar) associated with Indus MAGIC (see www.indusmagic.org for more information).

Head, Catalysis, Reactors & Separations Unit
NCL
I
established CReST at NCL to realize synergy among scientists working in
the areas of catalysis, reactor engineering and separations in 2007.
This essentially paved the way to formulation of a large research
program Indus MAGIC described earlier.
CEO and CTO
Tridiagonal Solutions Pvt. Ltd.
I
started a first spin-out company of CSIR with couple of co-founders in
2006. The company and the team are built on ‘Compute, Innovate, Develop’
philosophy (see http://www.tridiagonal.co.in for more information).
Tridiagonal develops and uses computational products to gain
understanding and use this understanding to facilitate innovation and
development. I have led Tridiagonal as CEO and CTO from June 2008 to May
2010. During these years, the company has secured external funding and
had grown to 20+ professionals by May 2010. Currently I am Chairman of
the board of Directors of Tridiagonal. Tridiagonal team (now 35+
professionals) provides engineering solutions to a wide range of
manufacturing industries (chemicals, oil & gas, power, HVAC,
automotive, fluid handling machinery and so on). Tridiagonal team has
also developed engineering software products based on state of the art
CFD technologies which have been accepted in the market. I hand-picked
and developed Tridiagonal team and provided leadership. I was able to
sell my dream of Tridiagonal to younger and smarter engineers to create
today’s Tridiagonal. Apart from the managerial responsibilities as CEO,
my responsibilities as CTO included identification and development of
key capabilities and competencies; inculcate the culture of innovation
in the team and helping the clients in translating concepts into
reality.

RESEARCH INTERESTS
Conductivity Probes, Signal Conditioning Units and Data Processing Software for Characterizing Gas-liquid FlowsOur group has developed single and multi-tip conductivity probes for characterizing gas-liquid flows in variety of process equipment like bubble column reactors, stirred tank reactors, trickle bed reactors, mesh reactor, ejector loop reactor and so on. The construction of the probes and signal conditioning hardware was also developed in-house. |

Cavitation devices for Ballast Water TreatmentShipping is the backbone of global economy and facilitates transportation of 90% of the commodities. When a ship leaves a port empty, or partially loaded, it takes seawater into ballast tanks to maintain stability and adjust buoyancy. In virtually every case, this ballast water will contain living organisms. When the ship reaches its destination and prepares to load its cargo, it discharges this ballast water, thus introducing potentially invasive species to the aquatic environment of the destination port.

IndusMagic
Indus MAGIC is an acronym for Innovate, develop and up-scale MAGIC [modular, agile,
intensified and continuous] processes and plants. This Indus MAGIC research program
of CSIR is formulated based on critical analysis and understanding of the needs
of Indian fine and specialty chemical industry. Specialty/ fine chemical industry
forms the backbone of industrial and agricultural development of India. Over the
years, the industry has evolved from a basic chemical producer to knowledge intensive
industry. The industry also exhibited healthy growth. To fulfill the demands for
addressing hitherto unmet and ever growing needs as well as expectations of a rapidly
developing India, the fine and specialty chemicals sector is expected to grow at
nearly double the rate of growth of overall economy. These new opportunities, the
sheer magnitude of projected expansion and increasing demands on sustainability
require tremendous research and technology inputs to support and to realize this
expected growth. The Indus MAGIC research program is planned as a first step to
meet these needs and to facilitate transformation of Indian fine and specialty chemical
industry.
