Education

My academic background combines civil engineering, environmental biotechnology, and sustainability-focused research. These programs shaped my work in microbially mediated materials reuse, environmental assessment, and sustainable infrastructure development.

Arizona State University

M.S. Civil, Sustainable and Environmental Engineering (Environmental)
School of Sustainable Engineering and the Built Environment

• Research focus on microbial chain elongation and waste-to-value systems
• Affiliated with the Biodesign Swette Center for Environmental Biotechnology
• Graduate coursework in environmental biotechnology, contaminated site remediation, environmental systems, and sustainable engineering
• Collaborated with CREATeS (Rowan University) on sustainable pavement and rubber–bitumen interaction research

Representative research: microbial conversion of ethanol and acetate to butyrate/hexanoate; microbially assisted scrap-tire valorization.

SSN College of Engineering · Anna University

B.E. Civil Engineering

• Foundational training in environmental systems, structural mechanics, material science, and civil infrastructure
• Laboratory experience with concrete technologies, fluid mechanics, geotechnical testing, and environmental chemistry
• Academic project work involving sustainable engineering solutions

This program provided a strong base in civil engineering principles and environmental process fundamentals, which carry into my applied research and engineering work today.

Professional Development

• Arcadis internal training in environmental sampling, contaminated soil characterization, and field safety
• Coursework and training in TPH assessment, site investigation methods, and environmental data interpretation
• Experience with environmental biotechnology laboratory workflows
• Technical writing and scientific communication for cross-disciplinary teams

Certifications & Additional Training

*Formal certifications will be added as completed.*

• Environmental field methods / sampling procedures (Arcadis, internal)
• Hazard awareness and lab safety training
• Sustainability and materials reuse seminar participation
