Akhil Mohan

I, Dr. Akhil Mohan works as a Post-Doctoral Researcher in the Division of Process Technology, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, School of Engineering Sciences in Chemistry, Biotechnology and Health, Stockholm, Sweden.

My research interests are waste to energy, conceptual design of processes, analytical techniques, artificial intelligence in waste management, pyrolysis, gasification, upgrading of crude oils, biofuels, and bioenergy.

I have received a Ph.D. from the Department of Mechanical Engineering, National Institute of Technology Karnataka, Post-Doc from the Department of Energy Science and Engineering, IIT Bombay. My doctoral thesis mainly focused on the thermal depolymerization of scrap tires into liquid fuels and chemicals for application in diesel engines and the post-doctoral studies involved the application of cost-effective adsorbents for the upgrading of crude pyrolysis oil samples.

Before joining KTH, I worked as an Assistant Professor in the School of Artificial Intelligence, Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, Coimbatore (on leave for two years). I worked as an Institute Post-Doctoral Fellow in the Department of Energy Science and Engineering, IIT Bombay (from March 2021 to July 2023). During my Ph.D. tenure at NIT Karnataka, Surathkal, I worked as a Research Intern at the Research School of Chemistry, Australian National University, Canberra, Australia (from Jan 2018 to March 2018). I have collaborated with various Indian and foreign universities such as KTH Royal Institute of Technology Sweden, Australian National University Canberra, University of Ramon Lul Spain, IIT Bombay, IIT Hyderabad, NIT Karnataka, etc. Also, I have received a KTH Royal Institute of Technology Post-Doctoral Research Fellowship from the Division of Process Technology, KTH Royal Institute of Technology Sweden, Stockholm (QS ranking 2023 – 44th ) for two years.
