Undergraduate Major Project : Extraction of Oleoresin from Chilli using Bio water, Conducted experiments on bio-based solvent extraction and analyzed data to study oleoresin yield and extraction efficiency., Developed a prototype extraction setup using lab-scale solvent extraction apparatus to optimize process parameters.

Undergraduate Minor Project : Applications of Bio water in extraction process, Designed and executed a project on Applications of Bio water in extraction process, focusing on eco-friendly solvent replacement and minimizing environmental impact., Applied Solvent extraction method to improve eco-friendly extraction while minimizing environmental footprint., Research Paper : Co-authored "Extraction of Oleoresin from Red Chilli using Bio water" published in Journal "Natural product research"., Focused on analyzing yield, purity, and extraction efficiency data to evaluate process feasibility and sustainability.

Masters Dissertation Project : Finite element modelling of small-scale water supply structures under environmental loads using ABAQUS , This study aims to analyse the structural behaviour of small-scale water supply structures, such as hand pumps, tanks, and pipelines common in low-income countries, under different environmental and operational loading conditions. The finite element method (FEM) in ABAQUS will be used to simulate and assess the structural response of these systems, ensuring accurate and reliable predictions of their performance under various stresse . The research objectives include developing a numerical model of selected small water supply technologies. The study will analyse the structural response under different loading conditions, including hydrostatic pressure, wind loads, soil loads, and seismic effects. To ensure the accuracy and reliability of the findings, the results will be validated using available literature or simplified analytical calculations.
