Owing to the opportunities provided by Osmania University I was able to explore
and
thoroughly study various aspects and latest innovations in Technical Textiles especially in the
field of biomedical textiles which were explained later herein. I was always in top 3% in class
and my overall GPA was 9.24 on the scale of 10. I was also able to present my studies, research
and ideas in various seminars, International conferences and symposiums. During my
undergraduate study, I presented my technical research and technical reviews in various forms
such as poster presentations, paper presentations and published articles which have been
mentioned on my CV. During my study interest towards nowovens, biomaterials and medical
textiles has developed. With this interest I did literature and patent review on
n o n w o v e n s , biomaterials, nanofibres & medical textiles. All these participations enabled
me to improve my writing, verbal and research skills where in it helped me in publishing a
review article.
I also acquired practical knowledge by industrial visits and training in spinning mills and at
Polyester staple fibre plant, Reliance Industries limited. During the training I have acquired the
skills of polyester fibre mats & raw material characterization. Also,
personnel, project,
material, risk and time management, research and development.
My undergrad project on bamboo fibre and characterization of bamboo fabric helped me in
learning about sourcing, fibre structures, processing, characterization, production, testing and
interpretation of results.
With further interest in higher studies, I have passed my Master of Science in Advanced textiles
and performance clothing at University of Leeds with merit. The masters' specialization was in
Nonwovens, textiles used in medical devices and health care and biomaterials.
My
masters' dissertation was on "Fabrication of low and high molecular weight protein
materials for healthcare" and passed with distinction in it. During my dissertation, I

of varied molecular weight protein materials into wet spun fibres which involved
characterization, crosslinking and mechanical testing of wet spun fibres. Throughout the
process of my project work, I have learnt about the history, extraction and structure of
biomaterials. Most of the work was on the collagen based protein materials. I have also learnt

about the life cycle of the cell and function of protein materials in it. With my work I could see
that varied molecular weight protein wet spun fibres had lot of potential in health care. This
project work laid more interest towards production of novel biomaterials at lab scale in mat
form/ electrospun/ hydroentangled. Also, laid special interest towards the cell culture studies
on the collagen based wet spun fibres following with " in vivo" studies as well. With this
interest I would like to work on fabrication of biomaterials for tissue repair.
I am confident that all the above activities will provide the flavor of my interest and ability in
various fields of nonwovens, textiles, biomaterials and proteins though my peers might have
done similar or related areas of work. I am looking at opportunities to undertake
research/projects under the concerned company. I’m very much excited at the very idea of
working with eminent people and enthusiastic to work with ease under the company
