About Sachin
Sachin obtained his M.Sc. in Chemistry from NIT Jalandhar and his M.Tech from IIT Delhi. During his master’s program, he worked extensively in the subject of renewable energy, specializing in water splitting with metal and metal-free catalysts and co-authored two research papers. With a significant focus on research, Sachin hopes to develop dependable and potent CO2 reactor cells that can use photoelectrochemical and electrochemical processes to convert CO2 to other valuable compounds. In addition, his goal is to determine the essential catalyst degradation mechanisms and investigate how reactor performance deteriorates under industrially relevant operating circumstances.
