About
I am a Chemical Engineer with industrial experience in thermal power generation, chemical manufacturing, quality control, and coal processing.
I currently work in power plant Operations, supporting process monitoring, engineering investigations, plant performance analysis, and technical problem-solving.
My technical interests include process engineering, process design, simulation and numerical modeling. I work with Aspen Plus for chemical process simulation, COMSOL Multiphysics for transport phenomena and CFD modeling, and MATLAB for engineering calculations, numerical analysis and data visualization.
My chemical engineering background includes mass and energy balances, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, heat and mass transfer, separation processes, reactor engineering, process control, water treatment, and PFD/P&ID development.
I can support projects involving process simulation, engineering calculations, process analysis, technical research, process flow diagrams, simulation-based troubleshooting, and engineering documentation. I value clearly stated assumptions, traceable calculations, and technically defensible results.
