Biography

Asvin hails from Kochi, a city in the south of India. He obtained his Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech) degree in Chemical Engineering from National Institute of Technology, Raipur, India, in 2017. He performed his bachelor’s thesis on the topic “Desalination of Brackish Water using Energy Efficient Capacitive Deionisation (CDI) Technology” with Dr. Prabir Ghosh. He then obtained his Master’s degree (M.Sc) in Sustainable Energy Technology, specialising in biomass, solar and storage technologies, from Delft University of Technology (TU Delft), in 2019. He performed his master’s thesis on the topic “Modelling of Multi-Tubular Fixed-Bed Reactor for Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis to Produce Synthetic Crude Using Syngas Obtained from the Work’s Arising Gases of an Integrated Steel Mill” with Prof. dr. Wiebren de Jong, in collaboration with Tata Steel Nederland B.V. He then joined the Kortlever group at TU Delft, in 2020, as a doctoral (PhD) student and focuses on the “Integration of Electrochemical CO2 Reduction Reactor into a Process System” with co-supervision from Prof. dr. Wiebren de Jong. His research mainly addresses solvent selection for efficient electrochemical CO2 reduction, impact of feedstock and electrolyte contaminants on reactor performance, and process system modelling of large-scale reactor for industrial implementation.
