Augustine Jaison completed his PhD in chemical engineering from the Department of BioNano Technology, Gachon University, under the guidance of Professor Young-Chul Lee (2022–2025). His research focuses on material synthesis with specializations in designing visible-light-responsive photocatalysts and porous adsorbents for sustainable environmental and energy applications. He has developed functional materials from spent batteries and biomass waste, including crystalline metal oxides and porous carbon, for wastewater treatment and iodine capture applications. From 2021 to 2022, he served as a research assistant at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Palakkad, where he worked on VOC oxidation and CO₂ hydrogenation reactions.
