Chemical Engineering · NIT Warangal

Hi, I'm Suriya M.J

Chemical Engineer from NIT Warangal; researched at IIT Madras, built real projects, and chasing problems worth solving.

About Me

Who am I?

S

I'm a third-year Chemical Engineering student at NIT Warangal, passionate about a wide range of chemical engineering domains, from separation processes and heat transfer to pharmaceutical engineering, oil & gas, sustainable chemical processes, and industrial manufacturing.

Outside of academics, I enjoy working on personal projects that blend chemical engineering fundamentals with programming, whether that's simulating unit operations or visualising data.

I'm actively looking for internship opportunities across process design, fluid mechanics, sustainable chemical processes, or any domain where engineering fundamentals meet real industrial challenges.

Experience

Where I've worked

Research Intern

Department of Chemical Engineering, IIT Madras

April 2026 – June 2026

Supervisor: Prof. Sumesh P. Thampi

  • Simulated active liquid crystal dynamics using the Ludwig lattice Boltzmann framework on a 32×32 periodic domain to study force-driven ordering transitions.
  • Identified the dominant active stress mechanism during isotropic-to-nematic ordering, tracking a force ratio that peaked at 0.83, validated against FFT wavenumber analysis.
  • Built a full Python analysis pipeline in a Linux (Ubuntu) environment, generating visualisations and validation plots used in the final internship report.

What I've built

Pharmaceutical Engineering

Drug Dissolution Rate Analysis

Modelled paracetamol dissolution using the Noyes-Whitney equation under standard USP conditions. Performed sensitivity analysis on particle surface area and solubility; found nearly 5× improvement in dissolution through micronization. Visualised using Python (matplotlib).

Cyclone Separator Performance Analysis

Analysed a standard Lapple cyclone separator using theoretical modelling in Excel. Determined cut size (d₅₀ = 6.79 μm), plotted grade efficiency curves, and ran sensitivity analysis on inlet velocity, achieving a 37% reduction in cut size from 10 to 25 m/s.
