**Microbiologist (12/2023 – current)**
**Pentair – Noida**
At Pentair, I am actively engaged in diverse projects, including OPTISOFT (water softener), Spirulina algae with a UV reactor, chlorine-free algae and bacteria control using ultrasonic wave energy, alkaline water development, and NSF testing for drinking water. I proposed and am currently working on the NanoSafe project, collaborating with a startup to explore antibacterial solutions.
As a microbiologist, I independently manage the microbiology lab, overseeing all microbiological processes with precision and expertise. My responsibilities include maintaining and reviving microbial stocks, preparing culture media, and cultivating microorganisms for research and testing. I am skilled in various microbiological techniques and specialize in microscopy, staining techniques (e.g., Gram and differential staining), and microbial viability testing. In addition, I conduct extensive literature research to support R&D, stay updated on advancements in microbiology, and identify innovative approaches for improving processes and outcomes. I am adept at preparing algae stocks and cultivating various species, including blue-green algae, in laboratory settings, optimizing conditions for growth and productivity.
I am working on the Sensacore project in the chemistry lab, contributing to its development and testing. I also handle a range of advanced equipment, including a liquid particle counter, ST-200, UV-Vis spectrophotometer, spectrophotometer, turbidity meter, GC-MS (Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry), DSC (Differential Scanning Calorimeter), and TGA (Thermogravimetric Analyzer)
