Generate a tailored SOP for Dr. Atul Bansode. Improve your application with a focused, well-structured draft.
Atul’s research focuses on high-pressure chemistry, reactor design, advanced instrumentation, catalysis, and sustainable chemical processes. His work integrates chemistry, mechanical engineering, electronics, and process automation to build next-generation experimental systems that enable precise control and mechanistic understanding of catalytic reactions under realistic conditions. At TU Delft's Industrial Catalysis Laboratory (ICL), he leads the development of high-pressure industrial catalytic systems and automated process control tools for mechanistic studies relevant to process optimization. His current research emphasizes renewable hydrogen production through thermochemical water splitting, CO2 hydrogenation for sustainable aviation fuel, and the conversion of biomass platform molecules via aqueous phase reforming and hydrogenation reactions. Atul develops fixed-bed microwave plasma reactors to investigate the pyrolysis and chemical conversion of polymeric composite materials, as well as the surface treatment and modification of catalytic materials. He collaborates with academic and industrial partners across Europe and internationally, bridging the gap between fundamental catalysis and application-driven development through the use of custom-built experimental platforms.
