About

Dr. Sachin is a researcher at RMIT University, Australia, focusing on advanced and hybrid materials for  fat, oil, and grease (FOG) in sewer systems. His research also encompasses the recovery of critical minerals from secondary sources. Dr. Sachin completed his Joint Ph.D. from the RMIT University, Australia, and CSIR-National Physical Laboratory, India. He is proficient in utilizing a range of analytical techniques, including Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS), High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA), BET and Ultraviolet-Visible (UV/Vis) Spectrophotometry. Additionally, he has extensive experience with electronic spectroscopy techniques such as Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS), and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). Dr. Sachin holds graduate and postgraduate degrees in Chemistry from the University of Delhi, India, and has qualified for the CSIR - National Eligibility Test (CSIR-NET JRF) in Chemical Science.
