When I started looking for jobs in Japan, I got to know that it would be very hard for me to get a job as I didn’t have Japanese language skills. I was feeling hopeless and then one day, I heard about ASIA to JAPAN from a friend. I decided to apply for it. I submitted my CV. After that, I had an interview with Sanpei-san. The conversation was super friendly. To be honest, I was a little nervous. As I was not able to speak Japanese, so I thought; I would be disqualified. But he was very supportive and asked me to prepare an introduction video in Japanese. After submitting the video, I was allotted a mentor. He was also very supportive and asked me some questions about life in Japan etc. As I was not expecting much but then, I got a call from them saying that I had been selected by 3 companies for an initial interview. I was very excited and could see some hope finally. The best part was that I didn’t have to go through the usual lengthy and complicated process to apply for a job in a Japanese company. My mentor was supportive throughout the selection process and helped me a lot to prepare for the interview. The interview process was for 2 days and in the end, I was selected by two companies. I couldn’t control my excitement. My job hunting in Japan wouldn’t have been possible without the support of whole team of ASIA to JAPAN. I would definitely advise other students to apply for job hunting in Japan through ASIA to JAPAN. Once again, I am truly grateful to them and will be indebted to them forever.
My Master’s thesis title is “water transport in metal organic frameworks” having application in desiccant based air-conditioning systems.
Desiccant based evaporative cooling systems have gained much attention due to several factors like less electricity consumption, environment friendly materials (zeolite, silica gel etc.). For this system solar energy or low grade heat obtained from industries can be used to generate electricity. In these systems, the required cooling is obtained through the adsorption of moisture from air on a porous material called adsorbent. Hence the goal of this research is to find a suitable adsorbent as well as understanding the various factors affecting the transport of the water vapor inside the adsorbent.
I am using molecular simulation techniques to study the water adsorption characteristics of a type of porous materials called “Metal Organic Frameworks (MOFs)”. After this study, I wish to design an experimental setup to evaluate the performance of these materials with that of zeolite, silica or activated carbon based desiccant based evaporative cooling systems.
