Work experience

Research Intern at Indian Institute of Technology Hyderabad, Sep 2025 - May 2026 · 9 mos, Hyderabad, During my time at IIT Hyderabad, I worked on a research project focused on finding ways to upgrade low-grade fine coal to meet industrial standards. ​My main focus was testing and optimizing mechanical flotation parameters. I ran tests using different air flow rates, with diesel oil as a collector and MIBC as a frother, and analyzed the flotation kinetics to see how well we could separate the waste. By finding the optimal operating conditions (6.5 LPM), I managed to hit an 82.30% clean coal yield and drop the initial ash content from 21% down to 17.10%. ​Aside from the optimization side, I handled the core lab work, including bulk sample reduction (coning & quartering), sieve analysis, and proximate analysis using a muffle furnace. It was a great hands-on experience in data modelling and hydrodynamic optimization.
