Siddharth obtained his PhD in Chemical Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay and Monash University Australia (Joint collaboration project under IITB-Monash Research Academy) in 2013, where he worked on several projects to understand the relationships between the flow behaviors of slender electrified viscoelastic jets and key physical properties & operating parameters using mathematical models. Siddharth then worked in COMSOL Multiphysics until 2014. In 2015 he moved to Cranfield University where he worked on modeling microwave-assisted pyrolysis, refining and decomposition of biomass. Currently he is working on modeling plasma-catalysis for a novel gas cleaning process based on low temperature plasma/catalytic technology to produce a clean, high quality syngas from the gasification of waste biomass.
