Dr. Anand Kumar is an Associate Professor at the Department of Chemical Engineering, College of Engineering, Qatar University, Qatar. He obtained his B.Tech. (Hons.) from the Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur in 2006 and his Ph.D. from the University of Notre Dame in 2011. He was a postdoctoral associate at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2011–2012. He then joined the Department of Chemical Engineering at Qatar University in 2012 as an Assistant Professor and was promoted to Associate Professor in 2018. His research interests include nanomaterial synthesis and their application in catalysis. Combustion synthesis and microfluidic synthesis are the primary techniques used for developing catalytically active nanomaterials consisting of metals and metal oxides. Currently, his research group is working on hydrogen production, catalytic conversion of carbon dioxide, oxygen reduction, photo-electrocatalytic water splitting and carbon dioxide reduction, and solar fuel development.
