Prof. Rajnish Kumar recognised with Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize

Faculty of IIT Madras, Prof Rajnish Kumar has been recognised with the honour of Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar prize for his contribution to fundamental understanding of nucleation and growth of clathrate hydrates. Natural gas hydrates occur beneath the sea-bed worldwide, and they can also be synthesised in the laboratory to provide technological solutions for  issues like, CO2 capture and sequestration to sustainable water purification.

On accepting this recognition, he said, “IIT Madras is at the forefront of research related to carbon capture, utilisation and sequestration and I believe this recognition will enable us to contribute more to the field of research.”

Prof. Kumar’s research interests are in unconventional energy resources including natural gas hydrates. His research group has published close to 140 research articles, book chapters and patents. During 2020, he received the Dr. YBG Varma Award for Teaching Excellence in Chemical Engineering. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry [FRSC] in London UK.
