2018
Doctorate     Chemical Sciences
My Ph.D was focused on the utilisation of biomass component lignin. I had established a novel method for the depolymerization of lignin into aromatic monomers which can be further utilised as fuel additives, octane enhancers and platform chemicals. For this work, I replace the homogeneous catalyzed system completely with the heterogeneous catalyzed system and makes the process "Green" by fulfilling the principles of "Green Chemistry".
2011
Master     Chemical Sciences
