NIKITA THATTAMPARAMBIL
@nikitathattamparambi
Chemical engineer specializing in materials, energy systems, and technical research communication.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I am a Chemical Engineer with a Master’s in Chemical Engineering from Syracuse University and hands-on experience in materials for energy systems, carbon capture, and polymer/resin alternatives. I combine technical laboratory skills with applied literature research to inform product and process development.
At PreScouter, I performed deep literature and patent searches, produced evidence-based reports, and investigated breakthrough technologies to improve process efficiency and sustainability. My work includes carbon capture technologies, novel polymers for medical implants, PVC-free plastisol alternatives, and low-energy dewatering techniques.
I have laboratory experience in VLE measurements, QC testing, UV curing processes, and adsorption system design from internships and industry placements. My academic projects covered biodiesel, bioethanol, SOFC materials, and process design for pharmaceuticals and large-scale bioreactors.
I also write technical articles and lab notes for science communication platforms, and have training in scientific editing and referencing styles. I seek roles where I can apply analytical problem solving, research synthesis, and experimental skills to sustainable materials or energy-focused projects.
