 3. September 2018- October 2018 -Worked as Research Assistant at Ashoka Trust for
Research in Ecology and Environment (ATREE)

Project title “Decentralized wastewater treatment - global innovation for sustainable rural
communities”. This project deals with developing a simple decentralized wastewater treatment at
Berambadi government school.
Major role in this project was to conduct sampling and to conduct basic parameters for the sample
which include BOD, COD, TSS, Alkalinity, Hardness, Faecal coliform, E-coli, Ortho-phosphate,
Total phosphate, Ammonical nitrogen, nitrates, E-coli, TOC and total coliform.

4. March 2016-May 2018-Worked as project associate for project 4S-up(Small Scale

Sanitation Scaling) at IIT-Madras under Prof.Dr.Ligy Philip

Was working on the project titled 4S(Small Scale Sanitation Scaling)-up which was funded Bill
and Mallinda Gates Foundation (BMGF) and CDD Banglore, EAWAG (Switzerland), BORDA
(Germany) are its partners.
Following are the objectives and work carried out
 To investigate the technical, financial, management and environmental performance of
existing small-scale sanitation systems.
 To develop a cause-impact framework for the success and failure of small-scale sanitation
systems.
 To carry out a simplified comparative cost-benefit analysis
 To determine in which contexts a small-scale approach is optimal and sustainable
 To translate research results into recommendations for project planning, program
development and future investment.
My work was to visit and conduct basic assessment study across India. Basic assessment includes
interviewing the manager, operator and user of site. Interview was conducted by questioner in the
form of an app named Kobo-toolbox. Systems were evaluated on basis of treatment type and its
efficiency which has a capacity of 5.4-700 KLD. A total of 150 sites were visited by our team out
of that I have visited 102 sites across India and conducted survey.
After that an in-depth and comprehensive analysis were carried out for understanding the current
status of sanitation systems. This analysis include physico- chemical parameters such as BOD,
COD, MPN, TN, TDS, TSS, And nutrients such as phosphates, nitrites, nitrates etc. By working
in this project, I gained much knowledge in detailed sampling (grab and composite) and
experimental analysis which helps me in developing strong technical skills in the field of
Wastewater technology.

5. July2014– July2015 (1 year) Did my project/internalship at Kerala Minerals and

Metals Limited under the guidance of Dr. V.S.Gireesh Deputy Manager, R&D

This is my PG project work which was done externally. The main objective of this project is to
determine the rate of the corrosion and also to check whether the given rare earth compound can
be used in industry were the corrosion rate is high. The determined corrosion rate is compared
with another salt to check whether synergistic effect takes place or not. The given rare earth metal
and salt comparison is carried to determine which has corrosion rate.
These experiments were carried out to determine corrosion rate weightloss measurment,
Spectroscopy study, Chronological studies, Electrodynamic polarization studies, Electrodynamic
impedence measurement and Depletion.

ONLINE COURSE

SHIT FLOW DIAGRAM (SFD) June 2019- July 2019:

 An excreta flow diagram (or shit flow diagram, SFD) is a tool to readily understand and
