السيرة الذاتية
Dr. Palani Elumalai received his PhD (2013) in Synthetic Functionalized Organometallic and Supramolecular Chemistry from the University of Delhi, India. He worked as a Post Doc in various organizations including the University of Delhi, and University of Ulsan, South Korea, Texas A&M University at Qatar and Texas A&M University, College Station, U.S.A.
Dr. Elumalai joined Qatar Environment and Energy Research Institute (QEERI) at Hamad Bin Khalifa University in March 2021 in the QNRF funded National Priorities Research Program - NPRP - Cluster grant to develop highly effective porous materials for selective CO2 capture and conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2) into high-value chemicals.
