ISHWAR SHARAN

About

I have extensive experience in the field of catalysis, particularly focusing on heterogeneous catalysis and hydrogen production from borohydride. Currently, my research is centered on synthesizing non-isocyanate polyurethanes using CO₂-based carbonates. My work encompasses various aspects, including optimization, thermal and kinetics analysis, structural elucidation, and conversion analysis using techniques such as FTIR and NMR. I also conduct molecular weight distribution, polydispersity index analysis using GPC, MALDI-TOF and product identification through GC-MS.

In addition to my research endeavours, I have served as a Teaching Assistant (TA) for NPTEL courses in Polymer Reaction Engineering, Polymer Process Engineering, Chemical Process Safety, and Chemical Process Utility.
