Expertise
I have recently become a research manager for the sustainable research in PLASMANT. My research expertise is: plasma science, heterogeneous catalysis, spectroscopy, gas analysis and characterisation, material characterisation, kinetic modelling of gas-phase and surface systems. My research work in the group was focused on generation of renewable energy and conversion of greenhouse gases into useful and value-added chemicals. My research involves the physico-chemical characterisation of non-oxidative methane conversion under nano-second pulsed plasma discharges via quasi-1D modelling computational approach. Additionally, we aim to look at the role played by heterogenous catalysts following the plasma discharges and investigate reactor design to achieve optimum methane conversion rates. These aspects are also studied using computational and modelling approaches.
