About

Dr. Kamala Kanta Nanda is an Assistant Professor at the Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, Lima, Peru. He earned a Ph.D. for the research work undertaken on heterostructured photocatalysts for solar hydrogen generation at the Academy of Scientific and Innovative Research (AcSIR), New Delhi, India. Subsequently, he moved to the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore, India, where he carried out research in electrocatalysis. While working at the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile as a FONDECYT Postdoctoral Fellow, he designed Copper-based nanostructured catalysts for electrochemical CO2 reduction and biomass upgradation. His research accomplishments in the area of electrocatalysis and solar fuel research have brought him many recognitions, such as GOT Energy Talent Award/Fellowship from the European Union under H2020-MSCA-COFUND (Marie Curie Fellowship); FONDECYT Postdoctoral Fellowship from the Agencia Nacional de Investigación y Desarrollo (ANID), Chile; and NationalPostdoctoral Fellowship from the Science and Engineering Research Board (SERB), India. His research focuses on the (photo)electrochemical energy conversion and decarbonization of commodity chemical manufacturing via electrocatalysis.
