 Optimization based design of an industrial cluster for economic and environmental benefits
 Comparative environmental assessment of multipurpose carry bags

Department of Chemical Engineering at Institute of Chemical Technology (ICT), Mumbai 2009‐
2015 Ph.D. Chemical Engineering
 Developed environmental life cycle models of ethanol production from tropical biomass such as, sugarcane
products: juice, bagasse, and molasses, cotton stalk, rice husk, wheat stalk, and sorghum stalk.
 Analyzed Life cycle Energy and Emissions of cellulosic and sugar‐based ethanol.
 Comparative thermodynamic analysis of Acrolein production from fossil and bio‐based route is done. Both the
processes modelled in Aspen Plus and inefficiencies were computed for various unit operations.
 LCA of biodiesel production from algae and Jatropha in Indian context
 Ecosystem services were incorporated in the analysis using Emergy method of analysis
