What I'm looking for

I'm seeking graduate research opportunities in interdisciplinary engineering and advanced materials, where I can build on chemical engineering, laboratory research, process modeling, experimental investigation, and technical data analysis.

I've conducted biochemical research at Kathmandu University on Bergenia pacumbis, investigating natural product-based enzyme inhibition and its biochemical applications.

I use UV–Visible spectroscopy, enzyme handling, inhibition calculations, laboratory procedures, and experimental data analysis to characterize results and document research observations. I also presented RMSE-based modeling of vanadium leaching data at the Modeling and Simulation Conference at IIT (ISM) Dhanbad.

For my bachelor thesis, I evaluated the techno-economic feasibility of municipal solid waste gasification for sustainable power generation in Nepal. Using Aspen Plus, I modeled syngas generation and power output and developed a waste-to-energy framework for Nepalese municipalities.

I've also supported quality control at Varun Beverages and gained industrial exposure to cement-process operations at Cosmos Cement. I'm building on chemical engineering, materials research, laboratory investigation, and process analysis to pursue interdisciplinary graduate research in advanced materials.
