Tech Chemical Engineering, Percentage: 90/100, Rank: 7 th out of 472 students in the state of Tamil Nadu • Research: Synthesis and emission study of Mahua oil based methyl and ethyl esters as biodiesel Experience 2007-Present Laboratory of Dr. Raul F. Lobo Newark, DE “Research Assistant” • Experimental Techniques: X-Ray Diffraction (XRD); Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM); SEM-EDS; X-ray Photon Spectroscopy (XPS); Auger Emission Spectroscopy (AES) with depth profiling; Gas Chromatography (GC); Mass Spectrometry (MS); Ultraviolet-Visible (UV-Vis), Infrared (FTIR), Raman Spectroscopy; X-Ray Absorption Spectroscopy (XAS – EXAFS, XANES); N2 adsorption (for surface areas); Photoluminescence (PL) • Proficient Software: XAS refinements (FEFF8), Rietveld refinements (GSAS), CrystalMaker, MATLAB, Minitab, FORTRAN 77, IGOR, ImageJ, Mutivariate Component Analysis using Chemometric methods Catalyst Synthesis • Synthesized a library of spinel Zn-Ga-O-N and mesoporous Sn 2+ -ZnGa2O4 catalysts that can efficiently utilize visible (sun) light for catalysis • investigated the loading of the former catalysts on mesoporous silica (SBA15) using incipient wetness techniques • Understood the growth of uniform mono-disperse d 10 nano-rods by following the cations’ hydrolysis chemistry Characterization Expertise • Attributed the reduction in the band gaps to substitution of N for O and the presence of tetrahedral Ga interstitials for Zn-Ga-O-N catalysts (using ND at NIST and XAS at BNL) and from the introduction of Sn 2+ 5S orbitals in the latter • Identified and quantified the incorporated nitrogen and tin species using surface sensitive XPS and AES techniques and explored the surface bonding environment (using FTIR) • Followed the crystal transformation of the spinel to wurzite oxynitrides with XRD, Raman and SEM techniques • Collaborated with Prof. Doren’s group to couple my experimental data with fundamental DFT predictions • Worked in a team to execute multiple 24-hr continuous XAS experiments at Brookhaven National Laboratory • Initiated meetings with multiple research labs across the country to gain different perspectives and equipment access to explore my materials • Safety co-coordinator for the XRD; organized state inspections, new-user training and prepared safety reports Reaction Engineering and Reactor Design • Evaluated that the synthesized novel catalysts are more active than commercially available Degussa P25 TiO2 • Built a continuous reactor for oxidation of organics equipped with a gas chromatograph (GC) and a methanizer for ppm level monitoring of COx as well as remodeled an existing furnace as a continuous reactor for nitridation and reduction of oxide precursors • Analyzed reaction mechanisms using chemometric (MCR – ALS) algorithms in MATLAB from raw spectroscopic data • Determined the major oxidative species of photocatalytic cresol oxidation and ascribed the enhanced activities of spinel Zn-Ga-O-N catalysts which have an additional wurzite phase to their unique band structure • Spearheaded a collaborative effort with Prof. Jiao (UDel) to test my catalysts for use in water splitting and CO2 reduction applications (in progress)
