Focus: Flexible porous adsorbents for CO2 capture and gas storage

I am a textile engineer with research experience in the development of porous and conductive activated carbon fabrics. My interests also lie in nanofibrous technology used in composite textile structures, specifically for moisture, vapour and air barrier properties.

At the Department of Sustainable Energy Engineering, IIT Kanpur, I work on flexible porous adsorbents for gas capture and gas storage applications.
