Amol Jadhav

Research Scientist

Amol Jadhav

MSc, PhD

Amol explores how advanced nanomaterials can transform the way we generate and store energy. His research bridges fundamental chemistry with applied engineering, developing catalysts and processes that convert greenhouse gases and renewable feedstocks into fuels and chemicals, and supporting electrochemical routes that can convert these energy carriers into electricity.

With an MSc in Organic Chemistry from the University of Pune, India, and a PhD in Energy Science and Technology from Myongji University, South Korea, Amol has built deep expertise in energy science. He previously led a research team at the Institute for Basic Science, Sungkyunkwan University, where he supervised the IBS Core Project and advanced innovations in energy conversion.

Amol’s work focuses on practical pathways to a sustainable energy future, from turning carbon dioxide and methane into value-added products through electro- and photocatalysis, to producing clean hydrogen through water electrolysis.

Focus areas:

  • Electrochemical storage/conversion
  • Photocatalysis
  • Water electrolysis for hydrogen production
  • Carbon dioxide and methane conversion
  • Sustainable ammonia production
