Biography
His Educational Qualification: B.E. in Chemical Engineering, Shivaji University, Kolhapur and M. Tech. in Chemical Engineering, Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar Technological University, Lonere, Raigad. They are interested in studying the statistical optimization, kinetics and modeling, mass and energy balance, upscaling of fermentation processes, bioenergy, and techno-economic evaluation of processes.
Research Interest
The preliminary phases of process and product development rely on experimentation programmes. Such experiments can be costly and time consuming. A statistical based approach can have significant advantages to reduce such experimentation time, experimentation cost, and provide more information about both process and engineering design. Their laboratory objective is to explore the statistical techniques which have capabilities of describing process accurately and increase the efficiency of process for different processes involved in aerobic and anaerobic fermentation processes.
