I am Shashwat, a first-year PhD student in the Department of Sustainable Energy Engineering at IIT Kanpur, with a postgraduate degree in Chemistry from IIT Roorkee. I am really keen on exploring the domain of next-generation carbon management technologies, given their relevance and indispensability for the future. I was drawn to sustainable energy because it combines fundamental science with real-world impact, working towards the goal of a carbon-neutral cycle and sustainability.
