WORK EXPERIENCE
Vellore Institute of Technology Vellore, India
Research assistant August 2020 – May 2021
• Six samples were collected both before and after the monsoon and a graphical representation using the output received.
• The components that were considered in the study were levels of Bicarbonates, Chlorides, Calcium, TDS, Total hardness,
Turbidity, EC, pH and Temperature.
• Many effects were noticed like health issues, economic issues, environmental (especially aquatic) issues.
• At last certain remedies were suggested for the betterment of the condition. Those include Groundwater development,
Rooftop rainwater harvesting and artificial recharge, Storm runoff collection and recharge, Wastewater recycling
methods, Water use auditing etc.

Sree Dheera Constructions Kurnool, India

Summer Intern May 2018 – July 2018
• Prepared proper mix designs and did various tests on blocks of concrete to determine their consistency, strengths.
• Tests regarding Compressive strength, split tensile, water absorption tests were frequently performed before using the
materials in construction.
• Got exposure to all senior engineers and Project managers through which got a better idea about the management of
schedules and team members.

TECHNICAL PROJECTS
COMPLETE 540- Benefit Cost Analysis Report College Park, United States
• A Benefit - Cost analysis was conducted for the Complete 540 Project for submission to North Carolina department of
transportation where the analysis period of the project was categorized into 11 years of construction with a benefit period
of 20 years after operations begin in 2030
• Did an assessment which is known as BCA framework to evaluate the financial advantages and disadvantages of a funding
alternative.
• Finally, the results obtained after performing the BC Analysis helped me to know that the time travel has a good scope of
improvement in coming years which indirectly concludes that the project is a tremendous success.
Feasibility Study of Concrete with Sugarcane Bagasse Ash and Micronized Biomass Silica as partial replacements of
cement (Capstone Project) Hyderabad, India (Dec2020-May2021)
• Characterized the properties of materials used and designed the concrete mix using Sugarcane bagasse Ash and
Micronized Biomass Silica when replaced the cement in the production of concrete.
• Tested strength parameters of concrete based on compression and flexure.
• Performed durability tests like Water absorption and Sorptivity which are important parameter for concrete that
depicts whether the concrete lasts for long period with less maintenance costs.
• Finally, suggested the optimum percentage replacement of cement with bagasse ash and micronized biomass silica.
