Research Associate
[ Feb 2024 ] - [May 2025 ]
[ Indian Institute of Technology Ropar, India]Â
In this role, I am working on a Bry Air (Asia) Pvt Ltd.-funded project that aims to design and synthesize adsorbents for atmospheric gases. In this project, I am responsible for the material synthesis component. I acquired a deep understanding of porous adsorbent synthesis, optimization of synthesis processes, characterization methods, and factors that affect the activity of an adsorbent toward atmospheric gases.
