I am a third year undergrad in the Mechanical Department of IIT Kanpur interested mainly in AI for Social Good, Natural Language Processing, Data Science, Robotics and Electronics. I have been fortunate enough to work with amazing Professors at IIT Kanpur like Prof. Ashutosh Modi, Prof Vipul Arora and Prof A.R Harish.
Along with this, I like pitching my startup ideas in various competitions. I was also on the verge of opening a startup but given the priorities and the time constraint, I had to eventually drop the idea. The entire idea of how technology can change the world especially Artifical Intelligence for Social Good inspires me to explore the various skills so as to understand it better. I have also been working towards mental health for quite a while. Currently I am a Core team member of Counselling Service, IITK which looks after the academics and mental well being of the campus people.
In my leisure time I like singing, Yoga and also scribbling about my philosophical thoughts in my dairy. Though I have recently started writing online so as to become a better reader. I believe that reading feeds the writing, which feeds the reading. I also follow Buddhism as a way of life. To know more or share anything interesting or collaboration in projects you can always contact me through mail or LinkedIn. I will be more than happy to talk and help.

This paper discusses the design and development of a fully automatic, modular, and portable tunnel that has two chambers and uses three processes to disinfect people with high neutralizing efficiency of the COVID-19 virus. In the first chamber, the person is disinfected by the spraying of the ionized mist of an approved disinfectant solution for 20 s. The electrostatic nozzles used in the chamber produce ultra-fine droplets of size < 30 microns allowing minimal use of a disinfectant. In the second chamber, the person is exposed to hot air for approximately 20 s and a safe wavelength of far-UVC radiations for 15 s simultaneously. All these processes are performed autonomously, where the presence of a person is detected using ultrasonic sensors. This ‘Techno Advanced Disinfection Tunnel’ is successfully developed under industry–academia collaboration at IIT Kanpur. This work can be extended to mobile disinfection tunnels for vehicles/two-wheelers and for lightweight chambers at airports, schools, and office complexes, once India reopens its economy.
