Summary

Senior🎓
Top SchoolVictor Sharma is a chemical engineering researcher and recent PhD with a decade of experience translating lab-scale biocatalysis and polymer work into plant-level process models and techno-economic analyses. He combines hands-on enzyme engineering and reactor scale-up—having developed high-molecular-weight polyester via biocatalysis—with advanced process simulation (Aspen Plus) and Monte Carlo–driven financial modeling to de-risk emerging chemical technologies. At Oak Ridge and the University of Kansas he led interdisciplinary teams, developed high-throughput assays, and published multiple peer-reviewed papers while mentoring junior researchers and teaching senior design. Now based in Houston, he focuses on enzyme-catalyzed routes to biomass-based platform chemicals and integrated methane reforming systems with carbon capture, blending experimental rigor with economic and policy-relevant assessment. Notably, he has demonstrated both a 10-fold rate enhancement through heterogeneous biocatalyst engineering and the ability to scale continuous processes from milliliter to multi-liter throughput.
