Vivek is a solution development leader at Honeywell UOP, bringing over 23 years of broad experience across multiple chemical engineering domains. He began his career at Praj Industries, designing bio‑refineries that produce fuel‑grade ethanol for blending applications. He later joined Honeywell, where he developed operator training simulators (process twins) for refinery operations. Vivek then moved to Technip, spending 13 years in varied technical roles focused on transient simulation, the design of offshore oil and gas platforms, steam‑cracking units, and emerging carbon‑capture and blue‑hydrogen technologies.

Vivek has recently rejoined Honeywell, supporting refinery and petrochemical operators in improving operational margins, evaluating new investments, and advancing their energy‑transition strategies. His recent work includes refinery transformation studies, new refinery development, and guiding refiners through energy‑transition pathways.

He also serves as Vice Chair of the IChemE Milton Keynes Member Group, where he mentors engineers on their chartership journey.
