Biography
Dr. Swati Sharma currently leads the Advanced Carbon Materials and Devices research group at the Institute of Microstructure Technology, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Germany. Her research is focused on pyrolysis optimization for polymers from different chemical classes for obtaining carbons with pre -defined properties. These carbon materials are then used for various applications ranging from miniaturized devices to the bulk manufacture of composites. She is involved in various international collaborative projects aimed at large-scale waste treatment, and has organized meetings and workshops to facilitate a common platform to scientists working on different aspects of waste disposal and treatment. Her interests include finding novel applications of pyrolytic carbon and efficient scale-up of this technology to make it commercially more profitable.
