WORK EXPERIENCE
MGO BOARDS OXIDE BOARD FACTORY
Chemical R & D Engineer
December 2024 – present
Al Kharj Industrial City, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
• Conducted research and development activities to improve the formulation and performance of Magnesium
Oxide (MgO) boards and other oxide-based construction materials.
• Analyzed raw materials and additives to optimize chemical composition for enhanced board strength, fire
resistance, and durability.
• Assisted in the scale-up of laboratory formulations to pilot and production scale, ensuring consistency and
quality control.
• Collaborated with cross-functional teams (production, quality, and technical) to implement process
improvements and troubleshoot chemical-related production issues.
• Conducted experimental trials, documented test results, and contributed to technical reports and product
development documentation.
• Evaluated environmental and safety impacts of chemical processes, ensuring compliance with local and
international standards.
• Supported new product development initiatives by proposing innovative materials and sustainable
alternatives.

DEWGLO CLEANING SOLUTIONS
April 2022 – May 2023
Chemical Engineer
Bangalore, India
• Analyzed the processes involved in the production and manufacturing of Housekeeping Chemicals.
• Conducted tests to determine the quality of raw material for efficient usage, ensuring that it is conforming to
the International green standards of the company.
• Examined the different types of mixing processes involved for the thorough mixing of the solutions, one was
with the help of hand mixing for thin solutions and the other was with the help of a mixing machine for the
thick solutions.
• Removal of impurities from the solutions with the help of water plants like DM water plant and R.O.
water plant to ensure that the final product obtained is pure, clean, eco-friendly and offers the highest
standards of efficiency.
RESEARCH EXPERIENCE
Projects Based on Software Use Like DWSIM
Undergraduate Researcher, Guide: Prof. Mrs. Shabnam Siddiqui
2020 – 2021
• Aim was to understand the process of cleaning and optimizing swimming pool water for its reuse using
simulation tools and presentations.
• Generalized and simplified the process of swimming pool water for its reuse using DWSIM.
• Displayed Knowledge of DWSIM and understood how chlorine is used as a disinfectant for treatment of
water and removal of dangerous pathogens like Escherichia Coli, Salmonella Bacteria and Protozoans
such as Cryptosporidium Parvum, Giardia Lamblia.
• Expressed the need of reuse of water and examined the chemical reactions occurring and the effects of
their by-products in swimming pools.
Chemical Plant Design Project
Undergraduate Researcher, Guide: Prof. Mrs. Shabnam Siddiqui
• Simulated the Synthesis of Iso Amyl Acetate via Reactive Distillation using DWSIM.
• Analyzed the working of a Reaction Distillation Column.
• Examined the esterification of acetic acid with isoamyl alcohol.

Final Project Work
2021 – 2022
Undergraduate Researcher, Guide: Prof. Dr. C.T. Puttaswamy
• Production of Aluminum Hydroxide by anodizing spent sludge.
• Assessed and analyzed the various methods of production of Aluminum Hydroxide.
• Analyzed all aspects of technical feasibility, commercial viability and select the most efficient method of
production.
• Examined the effect of temperature and concentration of reactants in the production process.
• The graphical analysis and the surface structure of the samples produced were examined by both SEM and
XRD analysis which was done right after drying the final product obtained which is a solid white precipitate
being crystalline in nature.
