About Me: I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Fuel, Minerals and Metallurgical Engineering, and I obtained my Ph.D. from IIT Guwahati. My research focuses on the sustainable utilisation of wastes as fuels. My work focuses on thermochemical conversion technologies such as pyrolysis and gasification, with an emphasis on transforming waste materials into valuable energy and products. I am also interested in the recovery of critical and valuable metals from secondary resources, including electronic waste and industrial residues, to promote resource efficiency and support circular economy initiatives.
Research Interest: Thermochemical conversion of wastes, Power plant simulation, Techno-economic analysis,
