Shiv Shankar

Shiv Shankar is a Doctoral Researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Sustainable Materials, Germany, affiliated with the Sustainable Synthesis of Materials Group. He holds a Master’s in Metallurgical Engineering from RWTH Aachen University and a B.Tech in Metallurgical and Materials Engineering from NIT Jamshedpur, India. His research focuses on sustainable metallurgy, hydrogen-based reduction of ores, and thermodynamic modeling of microstructural evolution in materials.

Education highlights include:

• M.Sc. (2021–2024): RWTH Aachen University (Physical Metallurgy and Materials)
• B.Tech (2017–2021): NIT Jamshedpur (Metallurgical and Materials Engineering)

Research interests emphasize innovative sustainable synthesis methods, particularly hydrogen-driven metallurgical processes. He investigates mechanisms underlying reduced reduction temperatures in oxide mixtures and explores applications of nanoparticles and biodegradable composites via additive manufacturing.

Prior roles include internships and research assistant positions at RWTH Aachen University’s Chair of Materials Chemistry and the Institut für Metallkunde und Materialphysik (IMM).
