I couldn’t accept that a young boy of 18 was so hung up on Chem Engg as a subject he wanted to graduate in. In the last 2 years I watched with growing conviction that here was a truly passionate budding CE. He created a Whatsapp group to talk daily about Chemical Engg topic and not only he’s been so amazingly consistent at it, he keeps prodding others in the Thop e-cell to do the same about their own subjects, so that they are motivated to read and understand their subjects too. I’ve not seen any other student do this in the whole group. He wants to learn together, if he is benefitting from some idea, he makes sure others know of this technique too and benefit from it. How good he is in the subject should be assessed by his professors and peers, but I do know he’s constantly working on improving his knowledge, reading up various references, following the lectures, talks and notes of some of the best professors across universities. He’s a core subject lover. For me, his sincere & deep love for the subject promises a serious chemical engineer in the making, who is definitely going to make a mark in the field, should he get the right environment and coaches. I do wish and hope he will land in the team of the best CE labs for fulfilling his dream studies in the subject for obtaining a PhD. He is certainly working towards it and his professors would undoubtedly be impressed with his dedication. He already did a few mini projects, wrote review papers, is even now working on a signification project in waste heat utilization etc. All the best buddy.
