Biography

Dr. Kaisar Ahmad earned his Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi, India. His research area is Heterogeneous Catalysis and Chemical Reaction Engineering, with his doctoral research focused on the hydrogenation of the greenhouse gas CO2 to methanol using intermetallic catalysts. His Ph.D. work primarily involved synthesizing and characterizing bimetallic catalysts and testing their activity in fixed-bed reactors. He also contributed to the thermodynamic and kinetic modeling of multiphase reactions, which was an essential part of his thesis. He completed his bachelor's degree in Chemical Engineering at the National Institute of Technology Srinagar, J&K, India—an institute of national importance. Dr. Kaisar is currently a postdoctoral fellow at Khalifa University in Abu Dhabi, UAE, where his research is centered on sustainable energy production from greenhouse gases, including heterogeneous catalysis, renewable energy, hydrocarbon reforming, CO2/CH4 utilization, H2 production, kinetic modeling, reaction thermodynamics, and photocatalysis. His work is expected to have a significant impact on the development of environment-friendly energy production technologies and zero-emission solutions.
