When manoj asked me to write a recommendation for him I was more than willing to do so. I observed him during his time here in Department of petroleum engineering, Indian school of mines, Dhanbad (ISM Dhanbad) when he did a project under me on Enhanced oil recovery techniques for a period of 1.5 months.

I was amazed by his interest and his ability to grasp the finer details of the subject relating to petroleum engineering considering his background being chemical engineering. I can still recollect the first week of his project when he spent hours in my institute library as soon as he realized it is something very different from what he was learning in his school. The very next day he was waiting outside my cabin and once I was there he started asking all sorts of questions ranging from types of recoveries to oil economics for a long time. Even though he was very raw about the concepts I could sense the willingness to learn in him. The biggest positive thing about him is he knew his weekness and this was his strong point which drove him to put far more efforts. But at times he gets over excited and impatient when things don't fall in places which surely roots up from his desire to excel and having things pertaining to him under his control but he surely has to learn that this will not be the case always and must have patience which I'm very sure he will realize. Over the period for which he was here he was never late in my laboratory and always finished the task I gave him on time and with time he also got the chemistry behind interactions of a crude when its trapped with the flooding fluid (his work was based on the ASP Flooding with different surfactants). He referred to number of journals like--------------and to get the basics he went through many textbooks like------------.His ability and the quickness with which he gets mathematical formulations is also quite impressive. He analyzed many papers mathematically with his own basic mathematics background in recovery techniques pertaining to interfacial and surface tensions without my help which demonstrates his engineering skill in applying a known thing to something unknown to get the essence of the procedure. His analytical ability is good and he certainly lies in the top 5% in this particular aspect.

He tried his very best to get something out of his time in our department and due to lack of facilities in his department(being chemical engineering) related to petroleum engineering he couldn't go ahead with his work once he returned but he made sure his work doesn't waste away. I got to know from him that he was selected for paper presentations after short listing by India's two premier most institutes IIT-Bombay and NIT-Tiruchirapalli (formerly REC) at two different competitions among a very stiff competition from number of colleges for the work which he did here. It really makes a point since doing a project outside the major and presenting it in national level technical festivals. This surely shows the level of interest he is developing towards petroleum engineering. To add to that he also selected Enhanced oil recovery as his seminar topic for pre-final semester and got very high grades.

A very positive relationship developed between us and Im very impressed with him as a student and a person. The last day when I invited manoj and his friend for dinner he shared with me the fruitful experience which he had of interacting with many senior professors and research assistants and about getting some very exciting details about petroleum engineering.The past one year I have seen him grow into a well rounded individual, who, I firmly believe will contribute immensely to whichever institute or organisation he chooses to join in the future.

I therefore recommend him strongly to your esteemed graduate program with a befitting financial aid.
