Dharmjeet Madhav received his B.Tech. in Polymer Science from IIT Roorkee and subsequently obtained an Erasmus Mundus Masters in Membrane Engineering with a specialization in Nanotechnology through studies at the University of Montpellier, KU Leuven, University of Zaragoza, and UCT Prague. He completed his Ph.D. in Engineering Technology and is currently a Research Associate at KU Leuven, Belgium. His research focuses on sustainable materials, carbon capture and utilization, resource recovery, batteries, fuel cells, and separation processes. He is the founder of Aardive BV, a Belgian science-to-technology start-up focused on translating research innovations into industrial solutions. Aardive leads prototype development, including process engineering and integration of interdisciplinary technologies, validation at TRL 4 under simulated conditions, and demonstration at TRL 5–6 using real industrial streams. The company also supports life cycle assessment (LCA), techno-economic assessment (TEA), intellectual property management, exploitation planning, business case development, and can act as a technology off-taker. Aardive participates in publicly and privately funded research projects and supports partner identification, consortium building, proposal development, and exploitation planning for projects related to sustainable materials, advanced separations, green energy, batteries, carbon capture, resource recovery, circular economy solutions, and industrial decarbonization.
