Ashin Sunny

Ashin Sunny is a Ph.D. candidate in the William G. Lowrie Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at The Ohio State University, with an expected graduation in August 2025. His research focuses on reactor design and developing materials and processes for CO2 capture and chemical looping technologies, contributing to climate change solutions through decarbonization. With over four years of experience in reactor systems at laboratory and sub-pilot scales, Ashin specializes in solid sorbents based on potassium carbonate, which have high CO2 sorption capacities for flue gas streams. He is passionate about using fluidization techniques to enhance carbon capture efficiency. Ashin led the writing of a Department of Energy proposal that was awarded for its innovative approach to decarbonizing the iron and steel industry using biomass chemical looping. He has multiple publications and patents and actively participates in professional organizations, mentoring young STEM students and co-chairing the AIChE Particle Technology Forum.
