Biography:
Thinles Dolkar is a Ph.D. candidate in Chemistry at the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, India. Her research focuses on the rational design of molecular catalysts for electrochemical and photocatalytic small-molecule activation. Her work includes the development of nonheme iron-based molecular catalysts for hydrogen evolution and hydrogen oxidation, their integration into H2 fuel cells, and iron-based catalysts for electrochemical and photocatalytic CO2-to-formate conversion. Her research combines coordination chemistry, electrochemistry, spectroscopy, and mechanistic studies to understand catalyst reactivity and develop earthabundant molecular systems for sustainable energy conversion.
