Dr. John Mondal is hosted by the Faul Group during his research visit courtesy of the Bristol ‘Next Generation’ Visiting Researcher Programme.

Based at the CSIR-Indian Institute of Chemical Technology, India, John’s research team is highly dedicated to engaging in the development, creation, analysis, and utilisation of catalytic porous materials. Specific focus is given to porous organic polymers (POPs) and metal organic frameworks (MOFs). Their primary goal is to transform both fossil fuels (crude oil and natural gas) and sustainable resources (such as biomass) into transportation fuels, chemicals, and materials. Additionally, their more recent focus lies in catalysing the conversion of carbon dioxide (CO₂) and the separation of water (H₂O) into hydrogen (H₂) and oxygen (O₂).
