Amol P Amrute (born October 22, 1983) is a Phd student in Prof. Javier Perez Ramirez’s group at ETH, Zurich. His present work includes Catalyst development for sustainable Cl2 production via gas-phase HCl oxidation (Deacon process) and transient mechanistic studies. Under the above mentioned title, he has design the catalytic materials for the stable operation of Deacon process and investigate the structural changes occurring in material during reactions by applying ex situ and in situ characterization techniques to understand the reaction species responsible for the activity. On the other hand, He also studies the mechanism of said reaction over the various materials using state-of-the-art, Temporal Analysis of Products reactor technique.

Career Amol worked as project assistant in National Chemical Laboratory, Pune, India. He finished his M. Phil studies in chemistry from Alagappa University, Karaikudi, India. He received his Master’s and bachelor’s degree in organic chemistry from SGB Amravati University, Amravati, India. Presently he is Phd Student in ETH, Zurich.

Family Amol married to sheetal sisodiya in 2011.
