Biography:

In 2017, Amit Kumar received his Bachelor of Science in honours with Chemistry degree from The University of Delhi, Delhi, India. Then, in 2019, he won first place in the Opendoors Global Russian Scholarship Olympiad and pursued his Master’s degree in Chemical Sciences (Specialization: Materials Science) from Novosibirsk State University in Novosibirsk, Russia, with a degree awarded with distinction in 2021.

During his undergraduate studies, he honed his research skills at the University of Delhi’s chemistry department, where he participated in a one-year research project titled “Exploration and synthesis of materials for a dye-synthesized solar cell with improved efficiencies.”

He completed his Master’s thesis research at the Lavrentyev Institute of Hydrodynamics, Russian Academy of Sciences, Novosibirsk, Russia, under the supervision of Dr. Sci. Dina V. Dudina. He worked on a project titled “Structural characterization and mechanical property evaluation of composites obtained by non-equilibrium consolidation of powders containing an Al-based quasicrystalline phase.”

His research at Skoltech centered on CO2 capture using carbon nanomaterials.
