I

Institut national de la recherche scientifique

2023 – 2023

Visiting Researcher

Working on a project of unlocking the potential of sustainable catalysts that can be used in Plasma Reactors for regeneration, with an aim in developing Green Economy Implementations. Successfully orchestrated a multi-disciplinary project involving terahertz spectroscopy characterization and integration with a Dielectric Barrier Discharge Plasma Reactor. Performed the Identification & characterisation of suitable catalytic materials using Terahertz Spectroscopy, analyzing the obtained data plots using MATLAB & Origyn software for the required frequency intensification and lower water absorption coeffecient. Leveraged data analysis insights to make informed decisions on material suitability for the reactor, leading to enhanced catalyst regeneration outcomes. Designed a Dielectric Barrier Discharge Setup with multiple electrodes that can generate plasma with relatively lower voltage and frequencies. Used Crystalline Silica spheres of 1.5um, 2.5um & 5um for finding its impact on Plasma generation on DBD surface.
