Development of new catalysts for the reduction of carbon dioxide
My Project
Work at IES is developing and evaluating novel and proven processes for producing liquid fuels like methanol from CO2 emitted from fossil-fuelled power stations and hydrogen from renewable-powered electrolysis of water. The main objectives of this work is to explore the potential for such approaches in terms of energy storage, CO2 abatement and economic viability.
About Me:
I am currently working as Research Fellow in the University of Edinburgh, having previously completed PhD in Engineering Materials and Surface Engineering from the University of Southampton, United Kingdom. Prior to UK, I have moved to different places in India to pursue my career from home town Balasore (F.M. College) to Bhubaneswar (Utkal University) and Mumbai (IIT Bombay). I have gained extensive experiences in experimental research skills and the knowledge in the areas of energy, electrochemistry, catalysis, material science, corrosion and materials characterization. Besides working hard, I spend my time reading, drinking and watching sports.
