Prem Kumar Seelam
Doc.(Tech.), D.Sc.(Tech.)
Senior Researcher
Heterogeneous catalysis, membrane reactors, reaction engineering, Hydrogen Production, Biomass valorisation
Experienced researcher & docent in chemical process engineering with 8 yrs of postdoc & 2 yrs industrial research, development & innovation (RDI) experience in applied catalysis and reaction engineering. I designed & developed many novel catalytic materials and chemical processes for various applications. My core research applications were focused on cleantech solutions i.e., sustainable materials & processes, environmental abatement technologies, clean energy, fuels & chemical intermediates production. I worked on methane pyrolysis, biomass conversion, platform molecules valorization, isomerisation, catalytic reforming and hydrogen production, purification, and separation technologies. I'm flexible, social, curious, and a team player with a results-oriented mindset. I have made international research exchange visits to China, Italy, India, Morocco and published over 40 peer-reviewed articles.
Key application areas: chemical process technology and catalysis in hydrogen production & purification, biomass conversion, and platform molecules valorization, waste utilization (CO2, H2 & industrial inorganic side streams), and circular economy approach.
