Mokshin Suri
Knight@KIC Grad Fellow (2023-2024)
Name Pronunciation: Moke-shin
Pronouns: He/him
Mokshin Suri received a B.S. in Chemical Engineering from UT Austin in 2019 before coming to Cornell University to pursue graduate studies. He is currently a Ph.D. candidate in the MSE department under the direction of Prof. Tobias Hanrath. His research interests include quantum dot photovoltaics, nano-bio hybrid photosynthetic systems, and catalysis.
Under the Kavli Institute, Mokshin studies the design of nanocrystal catalysts for electrochemical conversion of harmful greenhouse gasses (methane and carbon dioxide) to value-added products such as methanol and sustainable fuels. Mokshin aims to develop fundamental understanding of electrochemical greenhouse gas conversion while also exploring commercialization implications for this technology.
