Cyclone Separator for Glass Dust Mitigation
Designed and fabricated a cyclone separator to capture fine glass dust in grinding environments. Applied fluid dynamics to optimise inlet velocity, cone angle, and vortex finder dimensions. Modelled in CAD; integrated a sensor-based monitoring system to measure particulate concentration and reduce respiratory risk for workers.

Glass Waste → Construction Materials
Investigating conversion of waste glass and glass cake into value-added construction materials. Conducting material analysis (particle size, composition, binding behaviour), testing feasibility as a supplementary cementitious material, and evaluating compressive strength vs conventional aggregates. Authoring a research paper on large-scale applications.
SCIENCE JOURNAL · AUG 2025 – PRESENT
DAIS Junior Science Journal (DAISJS)
Founded the school's first science journal for middle and high school students. Curated 8 research papers from high school contributors, trained contributors in research methodology, and compiled the inaugural issue.
MAKER PROJECT · SEP 2024 – JUL 2025
AQI Detection Device
Makers Asylum, Goa. Designed a PCB-based air quality detector (Fusion360, KiCAD, Arduino IDE) that displays AQI and autonomously triggers the nearest air purifier when levels exceed harmful thresholds. Selected to mentor future students at the workshop.
RESEARCH PAPER · JAN 2023 – AUG 2024
Structural, Morphological & Optical Properties of V₂O₅
Central University of Jammu. Investigated vanadium pentoxide using 20 keV He⁺ ion implantation; processed data from AFM and SEM instrumentation.
