About
I am a Senior Research Associate at Banaras Hindu University, India, specializing in materials chemistry, electrochemistry, and advanced catalysis for sustainable energy and environmental applications. He holds a Ph.D. in Chemistry from the Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology (IIEST), Shibpur, with research experience spanning catalyst design, nanomaterials, photocatalysis, electrocatalysis, photo-electrocatalysis, sensing, and pollutant remediation. His current research focuses on the development of advanced nano- and quantum-catalysts for green hydrogen production, COx utilization, nitrate-to-ammonia conversion, and overall water electrolysis. His research integrates materials design and mechanistic investigation with electrochemical and photochemical technologies, aiming to translate fundamental catalytic insights into scalable green-fuel and chemical-production platforms. Dr. Satra also works at the interface of catalysis, artificial intelligence, and computational modelling, developing Python-based kinetic models, kinetic Monte Carlo simulations, and digital-twin approaches for predictive optimization of catalytic systems and reactor performance. His broader interests include techno-economic assessment, life-cycle analysis, reactor development, and scale-up of emerging green-energy technologies. He has authored numerous peer-reviewed publications in journals including Advanced Functional Materials, Small, Journal of Materials Chemistry A, Green Chemistry, and ACS Catalysis, and is an inventor on patents related to alkaline water electrolysis and sustainable ammonia production. His work aims to bridge materials innovation, data-driven modelling, and industrial deployment of sustainable energy technologies.
