2017-2021

Control & Protection Engineer, Siemens, Germany.

I graduated in Instrumentation & Control Engineering (renamed as Electronics & Instrumentation) from the Institute of Technology, Nirma University in May 2021. During my stay (between 2017 to 2021) at Nirma University, I felt enriched in several ways which include, Socially, Academically, Scientifically and also as a Project Manager. It expanded the horizons of my knowledge and made me a truly globally competent professional. An excellent academic atmosphere and disciplined culture inculcated new habits within me that have helped in all aspects of my life until now. These qualities led me to get an opportunity to start my professional journey as a Control & Protection Engineer in Siemens Headquarters, Germany.

Nirma University gave me an opportunity to interact with the students who came from several parts of India, the best faculties, and Lab staff. It was a breathtaking experience sharing my ideas with them. I have found every faculty very cooperative and a strong supporter for new ideas. This has helped me to get motivated towards scientific work.

Although the spread of COVID-19 was a tough time during our final year. I took it as a challenge and developed unique disinfection equipment for the sterilization of medical surgical tools. I was encouraged by the department and university for the submission of Patent, which is published. The best thing that Electronics & Instrumentation department of Nirma University has provided me is by introducing to the International Society of Automation, USA.  I have been active member of ISA since my first year of undergraduate studies. On the records of 2023, I have made a world record by receiving the ISA Scholarship Award consecutively for 5 years and winning six scholarship awards. This place has immensely added to my persona and I will always cherish the memories I shared with this place.
