Research & Internships

Diabetes Prediction with Neural Networks

SiCureMi Healthcare Technologies, Delhi

Pulled wearable data from the Garmin Health API into MySQL, reduced its dimensionality with PCA, and trained a five-layer classifier to predict diabetes.

Reducing Power Draw at a Paper ETP

Trident Group, Ludhiana

Proposed a 10% cut in specific power consumption for an effluent treatment plant through Kaizen interventions, a redesigned activated sludge process, and a cooling tower with a heat transfer model behind it.

Polymorphism in Pharmaceutical Co-crystals

Research internship, IISc Bangalore

Crystallised drug and drug-coformer systems, characterised them by single-crystal XRD and PXRD, and ran crystal structure prediction with a DFT approach.

Mesoporous Catalysts for Wastewater Treatment

Research project, IIT Roorkee

Synthesised a copper catalyst by a sonochemical route, cutting synthesis time while matching the aniline degradation efficiency of the conventional hydrothermal method.
