Short Bio

Manali joined the SOULS Lab as a Master's student in October 2017, and has recently started to pursue a PhD after finishing her MS in Chemical Engineering in August, 2019. Her MS research focused on the development of computational frameworks to reduce the environmental footprint of energy generation. In her new role as a PhD student, she is now working on PSE methodologies for the optimal integration of renewable energy with the conventional power plants through energy storage. She has industrial experience in the oil and gas industry through her previous job as a Process Design Engineer at Honeywell UOP, where she worked on catalytic propane dehydrogenation (PDH) technology. She is also experienced in process design and engineering through several internships at companies such as WorleyParsons, BASF and Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited (HPCL) during her undergraduation. Manali likes reading for leisure and painting.
