Worked on an important project for Bosch and Lomb to resolve a production problem of contact lens, through intensive efforts resolved a long-standing issue on the poor production yield of contact lens. Worked in many industrial product characterizations. After thoroughly analyzing and testing prepared several product analysis reports. Worked extensively in SEM -Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), White Light Interferometry (WLOP), Keyence modern digital microscope (VHX 2000), polymer projects.

R and D projects, new formulation development, testing , process, product and methods validation, customer projects, electrochemical analysis of antimicrobial medical devices and dermatological, cosmetic, veterinary products, biological efficacy testing as per ASTM JIS and Certika standards. Academic cooperation, polymer formulation development, testing, characterization,Technical support to marketing in India &middle east. 2 years of activities for the market development for silver antimicrobial products

As a research associate and a project leader in a European Union project (EU SPAN) have done a good job at the University of Erlangen, Germany. Besides several project reports and comprehensive final reports submitted to the European commission several international publications in high-rated journals were done. Research activities in the area of silver based antimicrobial polymer developments, testing and characterization, presentations in project meeting . Responsible for students practicals ( 2 years)

As a Post-doctoral research fellow in the Institute of composite materials GmbH, gained a lot of research experience, analytical and testing experiences. Responsible projects: Polymer recycling (Upcycling),Use of ground tire rubber as a filler in thermoplastics and elastomers. Structure-property relationships, use of hygrothermally decomposed polyurethane waste for potential applications. worked on various polymer characterization tools like UTM, DMTA, DSC, TGA, SEM, extruders, 3 international publications.
