Atul Bansode

Dr. Atul Bansode is an Assistant Professor in the Catalysis Engineering section of the Department of Chemical Engineering at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft), Faculty of Applied Sciences. He leads the Bansode Group, focusing on advanced high-pressure (up to 500 bar) catalytic processes and instrumentation development.

His research integrates chemistry, mechanical engineering, electronics, and programming to design innovative catalytic systems. Key research areas include renewable hydrogen production, CO₂ and biomass conversion, syngas/hydrocarbon processing, and the development of high-throughput and miniaturized reactor systems for industrial applications.

The work emphasizes in-situ/operando tools and safe, resource-efficient catalytic processes. His group actively supervises PhD students, postdoctoral researchers, and master’s students, fostering interdisciplinary innovation in industrial catalysis.

Dr. Bansode collaborates with prospective researchers seeking funding through programs such as Marie Curie Fellowships and NWO Veni grants.
