What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an entry-level R&D or petroleum engineering role where I can apply lab experimentation to CCUS/carbon markets and support flow assurance or environmental remediation, while growing through technical ownership and collaboration.

I’m an applied petroleum engineering student who built hands-on R&D experience as a Summer Intern / Research and Development Intern at UGreen Technology Pvt. I studied Carbon Capture processes, ran lab experiments with documented results, and used what I learned from challenges to improve the next iterations.

I also strengthened my market and policy thinking—analyzing competitor strategies, CBAM-related CCUS policies, and carbon markets to prepare a roadmap for market entry and carbon credits. Alongside this, my projects include resolving wax deposition in oil and gas flowlines using chemical inhibitor evaluation, building on work published at ADIPEC-23.

I’m motivated by real-world impact and responsible innovation. Through Rotaract and UPES SPE, I’ve led technical and service initiatives and supported environmental conservation campaigns, and I bring that same energy into my approach to engineering and teamwork.
