Chemical Engineering @ TU Delft | Fall 2022
Master's in Chemical Engineering @ TU Delft
As a Chemical Engineer, I want to design and develop safe and sustainable process. My area of specialization is in the field of Gas-to-Liquids (GTL) through which I aim to contribute towards a clean, green and circular economy. Moreover, I also have strong interest in implementing data-driven models in Chemical ...read more

1
Surrogate model based flowsheet optimization for methanol synthesisDelft University of Technology (TU Delft), The Netherlands
Investigated the use of Neural Network based surrogates to replace computationally expensive reactor models in the process optimization of producing methanol from carbon dioxide.
2
Resin Flow prediction in Composite Manufacturing using Deep LearningDelft University of Technology (TU Delft), The Netherlands
The aim of this project is to emulate results of 2D flow profile of the resin through the microstructural fibre arrangement, obtained from a computationally expensive CFD simulation, with a Convolution Neural Network (CNN) called U-Net.
3
Alternatives to Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) as Whitening agentsDelft University of Technology (TU Delft), The Netherlands
Titanium Oxide is used as whitening agents in food industries and it is marked as product of concern by the EFSA, through this project various alternatives to Titanium Oxide were studied and their economic feasibility was analysed. Currently used alternatives, their suppliers and their respective Intellectual Property and Patents were also studied as the part of the project.
4
Redesign and optimization of the Air-to-Water unit AW-25Delft University of Technology (TU Delft), The Netherlands
As a part of the course 'CH3843 Design Project' worked with Rainmaker Holland BV to redesign their current Air-to-Water unit to produce 5000L/day potable water.
5
Modelling of Fischer-Tropsch process in Airlift Loop ReactorDelft University of Technology (TU Delft), The Netherlands
Modelled the Hydrodynamics, Concentration profiles, Conversion and residence time of Fischer-Tropsch process using Python. Langmuir-Hinshelwood kinetics model was used based on Cobalt catalyst and limited the alkane formation to octane.
