Prodip Kundu

Senior Development Engineer

 

Role

Prodip is responsible for developing and maintaining numerical solution algorithms for chemical and phase equilibrium computations, process flow sheeting and unit operation modeling, and regression of experimental data. This involves development and maintenance of software libraries in Fortran and thermophysical data libraries. His role also includes conducting research to develop new and improved chemical manufacturing processes.

 

Accomplishments

As a part of his PhD dissertation at University of Waterloo, Prodip investigated post-combustion CO2 capture with membranes, developed mathematical models of gas permeators, and incorporated model in Aspen Plus as a custom Fortran unit operation model. Since November 2013, he has been improving the OLI Engine code..
