Dr. Krishna is a Research Associate in the Department of Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology (CEB) at the University of Cambridge. He joined the CaPI group in March 2022.
He received his doctorate from the Indian Institute of Technology Madras for this thesis titled “Insights into morphology-controlled synthesis and separation of metallic nanoparticles.” He works on continuous nanoparticle synthesis in microfluidics and process intensification.
Krishna’s work during his Ph.D. focused on understanding the effects of kinetic, transport, and physicochemical parameters on nanoparticle morphology. These insights aid in developing a sustainable continuous large-scale synthesis process. He has extensively worked on synthesizing metallic nanoparticles in millifluidic/microfluidic reactors and developed a large-scale nanoparticle synthesis and separation process by exploiting interfacial trapping in an aqueous-two-phase system.
At CaPI, he will be working on the synthesis of nanomaterials in novel deep eutectic solvents and developing an automated manufacturing protocol for precise morphology control of these nanomaterials.
The group is based in the Department of Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology (CEB) in West Cambridge
