Author

Rohit Pal - Presenter, University of Michigan
Research Interests:
  1. Modelling and design of Photocatalytic reactors for 1.) Small molecule synthesis, 2.) Biomass gasification 3.)Wastewater treatment.
  2. Mathematical and process modelling of functionalized and unfunctionalized adsorbents in direct air capture systems.

I have several publications in progress to support the above stated research interests. Additionally, I have research expertise in the following analytical/chemical/analysis techniques:

  1. Spectroscopy: Optical, UV-Vis, Synchrotron, X-ray and NMR/EPR.
  2. Material characterization: XPS, XRD, XRF, FTIR, BET, SEM/TEM, DSC and ICP-OES.
  3. Electrochemical characterization: Cyclic voltammetry, Mott-Schottky, Impedance Spectroscopy, Chronoamperometry, Photo-electrochemical Current and Polarization resistance measurements.
  4. Separations technique: GC-MS/TCD/FID, LC-MS/UV/RI, MS-DART/ESI/MALDI-TOF.
  5. Data analytics: Parametric and non-parametric modelling, Time series analysis, Machine learning models and Quantum Mechanical modelling (DFT, MD)
