Meet the team: Bhaskarjyoti Das (Max Planck Institute for Sustainable Materials)

The H2PlasmaRed project introduces Bhaskarjyoti Das (Max Planck Institute for Sustainable Materials), part of our team with the role of PhD Researcher (WP1, Process analysis, characterization, and baseline definitions).

As part of this project, Bhaskarjyoti Das is investigating how hydrogen-containing thermal plasma can be used to convert iron-bearing oxides into pure iron. His work focuses on understanding the underlying chemical reactions involved in this process and assessing how it can be scaled up for use in pilot-scale industrial applications. The goal is to support the development of cleaner, more sustainable ironmaking technologies.

Bhaskarjyoti Das is a PhD researcher in Max Planck Institute for Sustainable Materials having a background in metallurgy and materials engineering focusing on sustainable metallurgical processing and the green transition of the iron and steel industry.
