![]() In my previous job we were expected to be available 24 hours a day. I don’t have that 9 to 5 or 9 to 7 mentality. We are still developing our proof of concept, and the idea is to get this device on the market. We were the finalists of the Ideation Challenge and the 4TU Impact Contest last year and it gave us a boost. I’m also working on a start-up with two other students from biomedical engineering whom I met during one of the entrepreneurship courses. ‘In my previous job we were expected to be available 24 hours a day’ We talked with some companies and it seems to be a blind spot for them, so there’s an interesting opportunity there. It is a system-level approach on how to power a dredging ship and we expect it to materialise in the future because of the fundamental changes in the market, technology and regulatory expectations. ![]() The thesis is a mix between marine engineering, nuclear engineering and process & energy. ![]() Coursework also gave me the opportunity to do an internship in France and led me to choose an interdepartmental thesis which I am currently working on. It was coursework that led to me to become a finalist of the Bio Design Challenge in New York. In fact, I think I’ve done close to 25 ECTS in the form of different exchanges. I have done courses at Leiden, attended multiple ATHENS Exchanges and Virtual Exchanges. I’ve taken courses from Nuclear Engineering to TPM to Applied Sciences. I want to see what people are talking about. Learning can happen anywhere and anytime but coursework at an educational institution gives a structure to that learning experience. Being at TU Delft has been about doing as much as I could. I’m doing a master’s in Process & Energy at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering. I chose the latter because I thought I would have grown organically and I wouldn’t have had the same experience and exponential growth that I have had in TU Delft. There was a point when I had to choose if I wanted to stay in the corporate world or go back to the academic world. “I’m from India and before coming to TU Delft I worked in industry for three and a half years.
