Biography
I am a materials scientist working on sustainable composites and bio-based nanomaterials for structural and polymer applications. My academic background spans mechanical engineering, energy systems, and advanced composite materials. I completed my PhD in Chemical and Biological Engineering at the University of British Columbia (UBC), where my research focused on the development of low-carbon cementitious materials using biomass-derived additives and nanocellulose. Prior to this, I obtained an MSc in Advanced Composites from the University of Bristol. I also hold a B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering and an M.Tech in Thermal Sciences and Energy Systems from Manipal Institute of Technology, India.
During my doctoral research at UBC’s Bioproducts Institute, my work integrated materials synthesis, rheological characterization, advanced spectroscopic techniques, and life cycle assessment to evaluate both the performance and sustainability of emerging materials systems.
I am currently a Research Associate at the Bristol Composites Institute, University of Bristol, where I work on bio-based polymer nanocomposites incorporating nanocellulose and other sustainable nanomaterials for next-generation composite materials.
