Before being recruited by Electric Hydrogen, Ms. Shrivastava served as a controls engineer III at Koch Engineered Solutions from 2022 to 2023. In this capacity, she contributed to the design and implementation of advanced control systems for industrial applications, further honing her skills in automation and process optimization.
Ms. Shrivastava was acquired by BORN Inc. in 2011 as an instrumentation and controls engineer, where she spent over five years in her position. During this period, she successfully developed a safety system for burner management in refineries. This innovation significantly enhanced control system protocols by mitigating explosion risks associated with improperly managed burners or boilers, serving as a critical advancement in refinery safety. In 2017, Ms. Shrivastava assumed the role of instruments and controls manager at BORN Inc., a position she held until 2022. Her role involved leading teams in developing and maintaining instrumentation systems critical to refinery operations.
While pursuing her master’s degree, Ms. Shrivastava garnered experience on campus as a graduate teaching assistant at Oklahoma State University from 2010 to 2011. Before relocating to the U.S., she worked as a laboratory assistant at Dr. MGR University in Chennai, where she pursued her undergraduate degree from 2007 to 2008, gaining hands-on experience with instrumentation technologies. Ms. Shrivastava’s professional journey began with a summer internship at Khijraj Motors in Chennai in 2006.
Ms. Shrivastava’s academic achievements have been instrumental in shaping her career trajectory. From the outset of her studies, she was determined to pursue engineering, drawn by a fascination with sensors, instrumentation and control logic. Her undergraduate education culminated in a Bachelor of Technology in electronics and instrumentation engineering from Dr. MGR University in Chennai in 2008, followed by a Master of Science in electrical engineering from Oklahoma State University in 2011.
Throughout her career, Ms. Shrivastava has been an active member of several industry organizations, including the International Society of Automation, Women in Manufacturing and Women’s ERG. These affiliations have provided her with valuable networking opportunities and access to ongoing professional development.
Ms. Shrivastava’s contributions extend beyond industry practice into academic publishing. She authored ‘Comparison of Model-Based and Conventional Controllers on a Pilot-Scale Heat Exchanger,’ in ISA Transactions in 2013. She also published several additional articles in professional journals in India, establishing her as a thought leader within her field.
Attributing much of her success to the support of her father, who encouraged her decision to move independently to the U.S. for graduate studies, Ms. Shrivastava also acknowledges the importance of mentorship throughout various stages of her life. Looking ahead, she envisions contributing further to advancements in hydrogen production technology through electrolyzers while continuing to meet global energy demands. Ms. Shrivastava also aspires to advance into leadership roles within her organization, guiding teams and eventually leading multiple groups, reflecting both her ambition and commitment to innovation within the industry.
