Recent past, I was Research Assistant at Sophisticated Analytical Instruments Facility, Indian
Institute of Technology-Bombay. As E-SEM and cryo-TEM coordinator at Sophisticated
Analytical Instrumentation Facility, looking after the instruments, making it available for the
students and many firms all over India. Also, training several students of IIT-Bombay to operate
ESEM. There are lot of other new sophisticated equipments are being installed in this
sophisticated research facility. I had a major role in renovation, designing and installation of the
Cryo-TEM, Confocal Microscope, various Cryo-electron microscope accessories (Cryo-plunge,
CPDA, Cryo-Ultramicrotome), High pressure freezing machine, Freeze fracture system)
Ultrasonic disc cutter, Dimple Grinder, PIPS, etc. according to the installation specifications.
Nearly all the Instruments are recently installed and working.
