My Work

High Fly Trash Cleanup on Mount Everest

Portfolio

• Project Overview: Led the High Fly Trash Cleanup project on Mount Everest, a groundbreaking initiative using drone technology to clean up garbage from the world's highest peak.

• Innovative Approach: Deployed drones capable of reaching extreme altitudes, designed specifically to collect and remove waste from Everest's challenging terrain.

• Global First: Successfully executed the first-ever drone-based cleanup operation on Mount Everest, setting a global precedent in high-altitude environmental conservation.

• Environmental Impact: Contributed significantly to reducing the environmental footprint on Everest, helping to preserve its natural beauty and maintain it as a pristine environment for future generations.

• Team Leadership: Led a multidisciplinary team through the planning, testing, and execution phases, ensuring the successful completion of the project under extreme conditions.

• Recognition: The project received international attention, highlighting the innovative use of drone technology for environmental purposes and inspiring similar initiatives globally.

• Sustainability Focus: Emphasized sustainable practices by integrating eco-friendly drone operations, minimizing the environmental impact while maximizing cleanup efficiency.

Developed Nepal's first Hydropower Penstock Inspection Robot, a pioneering innovation designed to inspect and monitor the interior of penstock pipes in hydropower plants. This robot navigates challenging environments where human inspection is hazardous, using advanced sensors and cameras to capture real-time data for detailed analysis. By providing a cost-effective and reliable solution for routine maintenance, the robot reduces downtime and enhances safety, eliminating the need for manual inspections in confined spaces. Recognized as a significant advancement in Nepal’s hydropower industry, this project sets a new standard for infrastructure inspection using robotics.

"Qarisma- The Pamphlet distributing Robot

"QARISMA" is a pamphlet-distributing robot designed to enhance visitor engagement. It detects the face of anyone standing nearby. Once a person is identified and approaches the robot, Qarisma greets them warmly and delivers a pamphlet. She also concludes the interaction with a thank you message and a gesture, creating a personalized and friendly experience. This project highlights the ability to integrate facial recognition, robotics, and interactive technology into a practical, real-world application.

Hydropower Penstock Pipe Inspection Robot

As a consultant and researcher, I have provided expert guidance to leading cement industries in Nepal, including Hetauda Cement Industry Limited and Udayapur Cement Industry Limited. My work involved conducting comprehensive factory audits, energy audits, and detailed factory analyses to identify areas for improvement. I addressed critical issues, such as motor heating problems, by diagnosing the root causes and recommending effective solutions. My consulting efforts have contributed to optimizing operational efficiency, enhancing equipment performance, and reducing downtime, thereby supporting these industries in achieving their production and sustainability goals.

Consulting Cement Industry

I conducted an in-depth analysis of parachute deployment on drones at high altitudes, focusing on emergency scenarios like GPS failure or hardware malfunctions. The project, inspired by the use of drones during Nepal's 2015 earthquake for damage surveys, aimed to ensure safe landings in urban areas by deploying parachutes, thereby minimizing potential harm. My research contributed to enhancing drone safety protocols, particularly in high-risk environments, and underscores the importance of reliable emergency systems for aerial technology.

Research on Drones

I have been actively involved in drone mapping and aerial surveying, utilizing advanced UAV technology to capture high-resolution imagery and data for various applications. My work includes topographical mapping, land surveying, agricultural assessments, and infrastructure inspections. By leveraging drone technology, I provide accurate and detailed maps and 3D models that aid in decision-making processes for projects in construction, agriculture, and environmental monitoring. This approach enhances efficiency, reduces costs, and delivers precise results, making it an invaluable tool in modern surveying and mapping practices.

Drone Aerial Survey In Nepal

I developed an automatic water pump controller system designed to optimize water usage and reduce energy consumption. The system monitors water levels in tanks and automatically controls the pump operation, ensuring that water is efficiently managed without the need for manual intervention. It prevents overflows and dry runs, protecting the pump from damage and extending its lifespan. This innovative solution is ideal for households, farms, and industrial settings where water management is crucial, providing a reliable and cost-effective way to maintain consistent water supply and reduce wastage.
