44 years of experiences, a lifetime of dreams, and a childlike heart that refuses to grow old.
Life isn't about adding years to life, but adding life to every year. Cheers to 44!

Nanofiber webs of carbon black,
Keeping battery degradation off track.
Fast ion pathways, structure so bold,
Turning electrospun threads into battery gold! ⚡️
Happy Birthday Prof. Chandra Shekhar Sharma! 🧪🎂 @Chans2k2 sir

The curtain raiser of #ICACE2027 was held recently by Prof. B. S. Murty, Director, @IITHyderabad in the presence of all @che_iith faculty.
📅 June 30–July 3, 2027 | @chem_iith
Advancing #ChemicalEngineering through #AI, #Innovation & #sustainability!
Stay tuned 4 more details.
Chemical Engineering Department @IITHyderabad presents ICACE 2027!
Shaping the Future of Chemical Engineering through Innovation & AI
🗓️ June 30 (Workshop) | July 1–3, 2027 (Main Conference)
📍 Chemical Engineering Dept., IIT Hyderabad
More details coming soon!
15 publications with 100+ citations each | 6,473 total citations | h-index: 46 | i10-index: 135 (Source: #GoogleScholar)
Numbers offer a glimpse of our reach but the real measure is the difference our research makes.
Grateful to my students, collaborators & colleagues! #CARBONLab
For me, true impact lies in translating research into meaningful solutions—from candle-soot carbon for energy storage and metal–CO₂ batteries for Mars exploration to nanofiber-based healthcare and polystyrene recycling.
