Amit Kumar Pal received his Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Chemistry from the University of Delhi, India, in 2017. He earned his Master’s degree in Chemistry from Novosibirsk State University, Russia, where he specialized in materials science, focusing on quasicrystalline phase coatings and consolidation processes. His master’s research was conducted at the Lavrentyev Institute of Hydrodynamics, Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences. He subsequently completed his PhD in Physical Chemistry at the Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology (Skoltech), Moscow, with research centered on carbon dioxide capture using advanced carbon nanomaterials.

He is currently a Research Scientist in the Laboratory of Nanomaterials at Skoltech. His research integrates chemistry and materials science, with a focus on carbon nanomaterials, adsorption science, carbon capture and storage (CCS), environmental remediation, and the development of advanced functional materials for sustainable energy and environmental applications. His work combines materials synthesis, characterization, and performance evaluation to address challenges in climate change mitigation and the energy transition.
