Dr. NAINESH KANTILAL PATEL

Speciliazation: Physics
Qualifications: MSc, PhD
Campus: BANGALORE CENTRAL CAMPUS

Dr. Nainesh Patel, a material scientist, holds a Ph.D. from the University of Trento, Italy, and a master's from the University of Mumbai, India. His research focuses on developing low-cost nano-catalysts for energy and environmental applications. With over 20 years of experience, Dr. Patel is currently working on an anion-exchange membrane water electrolyzer prototype for hydrogen production. This research involves splitting alkaline water, seawater, and urea-based wastewater using a transition metal electrocatalyst. Additionally, he is developing photocatalyst materials for removing organic pollutants from water and for hydrogen production via photocatalytic water splitting. Dr. Patel has co-authored several research papers and book chapters in internationally recognized peer-reviewed journals. His name has appeared in Stanford University's list of the top 2% of scientists worldwide for three consecutive years. He has successfully completed four government-funded research projects and is currently managing four more. Dr. Patel has guided 12 Ph.D. and 2 M.Phil. students in their research journeys.
