Dr. Shalini Arora, a Research Engineer at ADEM is currently working on plasma catalysis, CO₂ capture/conversion, and methane reforming technologies. Ms. Arora also conducts desulfurization testing using ADEM’s catalysts. Previously, she was a Principal Project Scientist at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi, India, working on the development of catalysts and stack electrolysis systems for green hydrogen generation project. She has a PhD in Chemical Engineering, with a specific focus in heterogeneous catalysis and desulfurization from IIT Kanpur, India and a Masters in methane reforming technology from IIT BHU, Varanasi, India. She was awarded gold medals in her masters as well as undereducation courses for highest performance in the respective chemical engineering batches. She has an Indian patent granted for her PhD research work and also published many articles in prestigious international journals like ACS Energy & Fuels, Journal of Catalysis, RSC Advances, ChemCatChem. Specifically, her experience is focused in catalyst preparation, material characterization, performing high temperature/pressure reactions and result analysis.

Dr. Hari Reddy is a Research Scientist at ADEM and is currently working on design and development of plasma catalysis modular process for ammonia synthesis and CO2 to methanol over nanowire catalysts. He received his Ph.D. in Chemistry from Indian Institute of Chemical Technology, India in 2012. Dr. Reddy has over 9 years of experience in heterogeneous catalysis for green applications. His research experience includes Biomass conversion to biofuels, catalysis for green applications, hydrogen production from biomass and conversion of syngas to methnol and chemicals. His research also focuses on the development of metal oxide supported catalysts for methanol and higher alcohols from syngas. His expertise is in catalyst design, development, and catalyst characterizations for structure-activity relationships. He was awarded as senior research fellow (SRF) from CSIR, India, in 2009. He has published more than 35 peer-reviewed international journals as a lead and co-author and one Korean patent. He has attended national and international conferences to present his research findings.

Dr. Vishal Kamboj, Process Engineer, has a Ph.D in Chemical Engineering from DCR University (India) and an M.S. in Chemical Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology (BHU).
