About the Webinar Speakers
Trevor Tilmann is an Applications Engineer with Thermo Fisher Scientific, Environmental and Process Monitoring. He has a BS in Chemistry from Central Michigan University, with a concentration in Analytical Chemistry. He joined Thermo Fisher Scientific in 2023. With a background in source testing, Trevor is an expert in FTIR gas analysis, continuous emissions monitoring, and method development. His primary focus is the development of clean energy applications with the MAX Analytical product lines.
Nimesh Khadka is a senior application scientist at Thermo Fisher Scientific specializing in analytical biochemistry, spectroscopy, and chemometrics. Driven by a passion for innovation, he is currently leading efforts to champion Raman spectroscopy as a process analytical technology (PAT). Nimesh completed his Ph.D. at Utah State University, focusing on spectroscopy, alternative energy, and enzymology. His graduate studies centered on understanding the fundamentals of proton-coupled electron transfer mechanisms in iron-sulfur clusters for CO2 activation, reduction to hydrocarbons, and functionalization through hetero-atomic bonds. By leveraging electrocatalysis and spectroscopy, he discovered a “unified reduction” mechanism for CO2 and N2 in iron-sulfur clusters, which can be mimicked to produce industrial catalysts. Nimesh conducted his postdoctoral training at Case Western Reserve University, where he dedicated his spectroscopic research to understanding the biophysical basis of enzyme catalysis for the conversion of biomass into biofuels. As an active member of the American Chemical Society, Nimesh remains at the forefront of emerging technologies and is committed to driving innovation to meet customer needs.
