Rajkumar Yadav

I am Doctorate in Chemical Science with industral experience of 4.5 years. I have experience in synthetic chemistry, heterogenous catalysis, and heat transfer. I am problem-solver with passionate about learning new things and making innovations. Aspire to be a state-of-art product developer. Experienced in chemical research (doctorate), new product development (industry), data analysis with python (intermediate), and automation with Arduino and Rasbperry Pi (basics).

I have been successful in development of a few advanced inorganic phase change materials (PCMs) of phase change temperatures of (-)65, (-)51, 5, 17, 48, 58, 72ᵒC and in improvement of their characterization techniques; 3-layer calorimeter(3LC), PCMs thermal cyclers, PCM objects testing setup. I am the team lead for the development of PCMs-based temperature-controlled box and pallet shippers for transportation of temperature-sensitive pharmaceuticals and perishable food items. I also gained hands-on experience in development of microencapsulated PCMs.

With GPA of 8.5/10, my doctorate research was on development of heterogenous catalysis for hydrogen evolution from water splitting and conversion of carbon-di-oxide into speciality chemicals.  I had hands on experience on following equipment; gas chromatography, liquid chromatography, N2 sorption technique, FT-IR, chemisorption adsorption analysis, photochemical, photoelectrochemical, and photothermal reaction setups. Other than these, I also gained experience analyzing data of following spectroscopic techniques; powder XRD, SEM, TEM, UV-Visible diffuse reflectance, XPS, NMR.
