Skills Profile
Verbal & Written Communication

I have presented many papers and posters in several national symposiums and conferences during my undergraduate studies and these presentations helped me to improve by verbal communication gradually.
 During my master’s thesis I had developed immense reading and also improved the technical writing skills while publishing an article in an international journal.
Technical Skills
 During my taught masters’ course, I had gained lot of theoretical and technical knowledge at University of Leeds and Nonwovens Innovation and Research Institute on Analysis and characterization of Nonwovens and their products used in health care and medical devices
 During my master’s dissertation, I have worked on biomaterials used for healthcare in biomaterials lab at School of Dentistry, University of Leeds . I have gained experience in fabricating gelatin and collagen materials through wet spinning and nonwovens for their use in healthcare. In this project, I have also become skillful on wet spinning parameters, SEM, FTIR, Mechanical Testing, Crosslinking, TNBS Essay, DSC,
Viscometry, Nonwovens and swelling.

Through undergrad work , I learnt about bamboo fibre , textile processing and chemistry, natural fibres, structure-property relationship and also characterization techniques


During project training in polyester plant , I had gained knowledge regarding melt spinning , polyester staple fibre, sea/island filaments , texturizing , polymerization , ergonomics , six sigma , product development , project planning and management skills
Project Planning & Research Communication

During the masters and undergrad thesis work, I have learnt how to distribute the project work at different labs in accordance to time. In this process, day to day progress was discussed once a week along with the next week’s plan.This
planning also helped in research communication with senior research fellows, professors and industry people.
The experience not only helped me in completing the project on time, but also enhanced my project planning skills. My experience as production engineer helped me to gain practical knowledge in different composites ( glass, carbon and aramids based reinforced plastics )
