About Pooja Agrawal
As an IIT Roorkee alumna with an M.Tech in Advanced Methods of Chemical Analysis, I bring a rigorous academic foundation to my role as a Material Scientist.With over 4 years of experience at Honeywell UOP, My work is centered on using advanced characterization—including P-XRD, SEM-EDS, BET, MIP, and TGA—to resolve complex technical queries for global customers and steer new product development (NPD). I don’t just analyze data; I optimize processes. I am passionate about bridging the gap between fundamental chemistry and scalable industrial applications, particularly in contaminant removal, hydrocracking, and naphtha technologies. My approach combines deep technical expertise with a focus on operational excellence, leading to recognized achievements in cycle-time reduction, automation, and innovation in adsorbent technologies. Technical ToolkitCharacterization: P-XRD, SEM-EDS, TGA/DSC, BET, Hg Porosimetry (MIP), XRF, and Chemisorption. Methodologies: Lean Six Sigma, Root Cause Analysis (RCA), and New Product Development (NPD). Software: Minitab, Origin Pro, JADE, LIMS, and Tableau.
Experience
R & d Scientist Ii
Aug 2022 — Present
As an R&D Scientist II, I specialize in the advanced characterization of solid materials, specifically catalysts and adsorbents. I translate complex physiochemical data into strategic technical solutions for global UOP customers and internal product development teams. Key Responsibilities & Impact:Advanced Material Characterization: Lead the investigation of solid materials using a suite of techniques including P-XRD, SEM-EDS, BET, TGA/DSC, Hg Porosimetry (MIP), and XRF. Strategic R&D & NPD: Contribute to New Product Development (NPD) and strategic projects focused on contaminant removal (Hg, Cl, S, N, NH3) and diverse catalysts used in hydrocracking, naphtha reforming, and electrochemical cells. Operational Excellence: Serving as a core technical member of a Six Sigma Green Belt project focused on the reduction of AMC costs and instrument downtime to optimize product reliability and lab performance.Efficiency Improvements: Successfully led cycle-time reduction initiatives and laboratory automation projects, significantly improving material testing workflows. Technical Troubleshooting: Deliver detailed analytical reports and insights to resolve critical technical queries for both domestic and international UOP customers.
