About
I am a dedicated PhD Scientist specializing in sustainability-focused research and consultancy, particularly Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and Technoeconomic assessment (TEA). With extensive experience in conducting comprehensive LCAs, I am skilled in evaluating environmental impacts and sustainability metrics across diverse industries. Currently, as a research fellow (postdoctoral scientist) at TUM CREATE, Singapore, I contribute to the Protein4Singapore project, utilizing LCA methodologies to assess the environmental impact of plant and animal-based protein sources and supply chains, Dairy and nondairy systems, Import of animal products.
In previous roles, including Project Research Scientist at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Bombay, I honed my expertise in LCA by conducting detailed assessments for complex systems such as petroleum/petrochemical refinery complexes carbon capture technologies. As a Research Scholar (PhD) at Visvesvaraya National Institute of Technology, Nagpur, India, started my journey of LCA and performed Ex-ante LCA of dietary fiber and other nutraceuticals production from biomass waste and published multiple research articles in reputable journals such as Journal of Cleaner Production, Waste Management, Biomass Conversion and Biorefinery, Chemical Engineering and Processing - Process Intensification etc.
Moreover, as a sustainability consultant at Sus-Tech Solutions, Nagpur, India, I handled diverse industries for sustainability assessment, including agrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, food, scrap, and metal.
Proficient in utilizing LCA software such as GaBi, SimaPro, and OpenLCA, I am committed to advancing sustainable technologies and practices to contribute to a greener and more environmentally conscious future.
