Hi, I am Arjun a Prime Minister Research Fellow (PMRF) at Department of Chemistry, Indian Institute of Technology Ropar. In August 2021, I joined as a postgraduate student working toward a Ph.D. degree under Prof. Rajendra Srivastava in the Department of Chemistry IIT Ropar. My research area is catalysis and material synthesis. My research interest focuses on designing sustainable and economical processes for catalytic upcycling of bio-waste and plastic waste. My research topic is the development of multi-functional heterogeneous catalysts for the sustainable conversion of biomass and plastic waste into valuable chemicals and fuels.
