Dr Sayan Kar

Marie Curie Research Fellow

Sayan Kar received his Integrated MSc degree (Chemistry) from the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur (India) in 2015 with Proficiency Medals. He obtained his PhD in 2019 from University of Southern California (Los Angeles, USA) with Prof. G. K. Surya Prakash as PhD advisor working on carbon dioxide capture and recycling. Subsequently, he joined the research group of Prof. David Milstein at Weizmann Institute of Science (Israel) as a postdoctoral researcher, focusing on the development of sustainable catalytic reactions with transition metal complexes. Since 2021, he is a Postdoctoral Research Associate in Prof. Erwin Reisner's group at the University of Cambridge working toward developing processes for renewable fuel production from atmospheric carbon dioxide.
