Dharmjeet Madhav
Dharmjeet Madhav, an Indian fellow who did his bachelor’s studies in polymer science at Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Roorkee (India), joined the group in November 2020. Previously, he was an Erasmus Mundus scholar in a European master’s program in membrane engineering (EM3E-4SW), which he joined just after his bachelor's in 2018. In the last two years, he has studied and conducted research at five different universities in Europe. University of Montpellier II (France) and University Paul Sabatier III (Toulouse, France) introduced him to the fundamentals of materials science and chemical engineering. Next, the University of Chemistry and Technology Prague (Czech Republic), laid the foundations of membrane process modeling and technologies. Finally, University of Zaragoza (Spain), allowed for specialization in nanoscience and nanotechnology. His curiosity guided him to conduct his master’s thesis with the membrane technology group at KU Leuven (Belgium). He has been awarded with several scholarships and awards including merit cum means scholarship for his bachelor’s studies at IIT Roorkee, Erasmus Mundus scholarship for his master’s in membrane engineering, and a travel grant award from the European membrane society to attend EMS summer school 2019 in the University of Edinburgh, UK. Dharmjeet aspires to carry on his research career in the field of polymer science and technology, while always serving his surrounding and reaching out to new cultures.
