Über mich
My commitment to environmental protection is evident through my work as a Student Assistants on 3 different topics in the past and my ongoing stint at Fraunhofer, where I am currently involved in a CO2 electrolyser project. My background as a Process and Safety Engineer at BASF India Ltd. in a production plant with a team of about 50 members further solidifies my dedication to safety, health, and environmental practices. I overlooked over 20 Management of Changes, 2 process modifications, carried out Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (HIRA), participated in 2 plant Audits and promoted a safe working culture with regular campaigns. To broaden my skill set, I have actively pursued programming knowledge, particularly in MATLAB, and have been diligently improving my proficiency in the German language. These additional skills will undoubtedly complement my expertise in environmental engineering and allow me to contribute effectively to research and development efforts.
