Department of Chemical Engineering at Institute of Chemical Technology (ICT), Mumbai 2009‐

2015 Ph.D. Chemical Engineering

 Developed environmental life cycle models of ethanol production from tropical biomass such as, sugarcane products: juice, bagasse, and molasses, cotton stalk, rice husk, wheat stalk, and sorghum stalk.

 Analyzed Life cycle Energy and Emissions of cellulosic and sugar‐based ethanol.

 Comparative thermodynamic analysis of Acrolein production from fossil and bio‐based route is done. Both the processes modelled in Aspen Plus and inefficiencies were computed for various unit operations.

 LCA of biodiesel production from algae and Jatropha in Indian context

 Ecosystem services were incorporated in the analysis using Emergy method of analysis
