Working in material analytics group at Fraunhofer institute of structure durability and system reliability LBF. Characterizing polyolefins using chromatographic techniques, developing methods for high performance liquid chromatography/liquid adsorption chromatography (HPLC/LAC) and hyphenation of multidimensional chromatographic techniques (i.e., HT 2D-LC). I have proposed few interesting methods and improved pre existing methods for the characterization of polyolefins.

Development of Super Molecular Composites (SMC) of PPTA/(PA6-PA6,6). SMC's are materials with enhanced thermal and physical properties used in aerospace applications. First time they were developed by the U.S. military. Worked under the supervision of Dr. Sanjay Palsule to study thermal and physical properties of SMC's.
