Lohit Sharma graduated with a B.Tech in Chemical Engineering from the University School of Chemical Technology (G.G.S.I.P.U) in 2014. Later, he moved to the University of Toledo to pursue M.S in Chemical Engineering. For his Master’s thesis, he worked on the development of a novel anti-biofouling coating for industrial application.  Specifically, Lohit looks at the initial attachment of P. aeruginosa on the coatings. Moreover, he developed the protocol for conducting flow cell experiments to mimic environmental conditions.

Currently, Lohit is pursuing a Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering at Lehigh University under the supervision of Prof. Jonas Baltrusaitis and Prof. Israel E. Wachs. His research focus is to investigate the influence of H₂S on the kinetics and mechanism of reverse water-gas shift reaction on MoS₂. Future work will involve evaluating transition metal sulfide-based catalyst for dehydrogenation reactions.
