About
Dr. Bhavesh Parmar is currently (2025-present) a Senior Postdoctoral Researcher in the Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Science, at the University of Helsinki, Finland, where he works on sustainable rare-earth element (REE) recycling strategies for the urban mining of REEs from permanent magnets and electronic waste. His current research focuses on developing environmentally sustainable REE recovery methods, including organic lixiviant-based hydrometallurgy and REE-capturing scavenger metal-organic frameworks (MOFs).
He earned his B.Sc. (2010) and M.Sc. (2012) degrees in Chemistry from the Department of Chemistry, Saurashtra University, Rajkot, India, and completed his Ph.D. at the Academy of Scientific and Innovative Research (AcSIR), Ghaziabad, India, in February 2020, supported by a CSIR Senior Research Fellowship (CSIR-SRF).
Following his Ph.D., Dr. Parmar held postdoctoral research positions at the Indian Institute of Technology Ropar (supported by an Institute Postdoctoral Fellowship, i-PDF) and at the CSIR-Central Salt and Marine Chemicals Research Institute (CSIR-CSMCRI), Bhavnagar, India (supported by a CSIR-Research Associateship, CSIR-RA).
He was awarded the prestigious Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) Postdoctoral Fellowship, which enabled him to conduct research at the Department of Applied Chemistry, Kyushu University, Japan, from 2022 to 2024. He subsequently served as a Research Assistant Professor at Kyushu University and at the Department of Chemistry, The University of Tokyo, Japan (2024-2025).
Dr. Parmar’s research focuses on the design and development of multifunctional coordination polymers (CPs), metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), and MOF-based nanocomposites. His research interests include environmental remediation (pollutant sensing and encapsulation, CO₂ sequestration), heterogeneous and electrocatalysis, photo-functional materials for triplet fusion and singlet fission, molecular qubits for quantum information science, and sustainable materials chemistry, including REE recovery and rare-earth magnet recycling. He has extensive expertise in small-molecule X-ray crystallography and structure–property relationships and identifies as a chemical crystallographer.
