University at Buffalo (SUNY)
Greetings! I'm Ritik Ravindra Konduskar, an enthusiastic and forward-looking Chemical Engineering scholar currently on a captivating journey towards a Master of Science degree at the illustrious State University of New York at Buffalo, with my graduation set for June 2024. My academic odyssey began with a Bachelor of Technology in Chemical Engineering from the prestigious Vellore Institute of Technology in May 2022.
Professional Journey and Research Pursuits
My trajectory through the realm of Chemical Engineering has been marked by unwavering dedication and an insatiable curiosity. As a remote intern at the esteemed Indian Institute of Chemical Engineers, I orchestrated feedback control strategies, fine-tuned cascade control methods, and analyzed impeller dynamics for optimal flow rates and pump performance.
Collaboratively, we aimed to revolutionize cement production towards zero CO2 emissions.
My role as a Project Intern at Sama Chemo Pharma Pvt. Ltd. involved crafting autonomous safety systems for high-pressure vessels. I meticulously tuned PID controllers, adhering to CDSCO standards, to ensure impeccable safety parameters during unexpected events.
Simultaneously, my research journey unfolded as a Graduate Research Assistant at the Hachmann Research Group, University at Buffalo. Utilizing modern tools such as virtual high-throughput screening and machine learning models, I navigated computational chemistry and materials informatics, bridging diverse fields.
In the arena of research projects, I engaged in optimizing heat exchanger networks, predicting production rates using regression models, and conducting comprehensive Life Cycle Analysis for cyclohexane processes. My expertise extended to Aspen HYSYS modeling for Acrylic Acid production and intricate heat transfer estimation in aluminum pipes.
