Tirthankar currently working as a post doctoral researcher in Lillie university, France, Received his B.Sc in Chemistry from University of Calcutta (Presidency College), India in 2012. After that, he joined Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, India for his Masters and secured the first position in his class in Masters. During his Masters, he worked on reaction mechanisms involved in coal pyrolysis using different instruments like TGA, GC-MS, SEM-EDAX, TGA+FTIR, DSC etc.Using thermodynamic data he studied the gas phase as well as the solid phase reactions involved during coal pyrolysis in different gases.Chemical analysis was carried out on the remains of the pyrolysis product to understand the effect of inorganic elements in pyrolysis. He also tried to find out the changes in chemical structures during pyrolysis using experimental results.He received his M.Sc in Energy in 2015. He joined the Combustion Research Lab in September 2015 to pursue his Ph.D. under the supervision of Prof. Murray Thomson. His research involves measurement of PAHs for aromatic fuels using GC/MS. He is also developing an improved chemical mechanism which can capture the aromaticity of the fuel and give a better understanding of PAH formation for aromatic fuels. Currently, he holds MIE fellowship.
Now, he is selected POSTDOCTORAL in France.
