Khantesh Agrawal

About

I am an Assistant Professor at the Department of Chemical Engineering, IIT (ISM) Dhanbad. Prior to this, I was a Scientist at Honeywell, UOP and worked on CO2 electroreduction into value added chemicals. I was a Prime Minister's Research Fellow (PMRF - PhD scholar) at the IISc Bangalore and worked on an ONGC Energy Centre Trust (OECT) collaborated project in the domain of platinum-based electrocatalyst design for fuel cells. I have a chemical engineering background, and I am interested in the application of electrochemistry in fuel cells, electrolyzers, batteries, molecule detection, and pollution control. I am also interested in nanotechnology for process development and water treatment.
