About

I have been working in the field of "Heterogeneous Catalysis" from the past 10 years. During my research career, I worked on various projects involving dehydrogenation, hydrogenation reactions using various metal oxide based catalysts. In addition, the synthesis of mesoporous materials with uniform pore texture, which assists in immobilizing the active metal component is applied for significant elevation in catalytic performance. My research interests are biomass conversion, CO2 hydrogenation, and F-T synthesis to produce value-added products.
