Himanshu Mishra

Himanshu Mishra is an Assistant Professor of Environmental Science and Engineering and a principal investigator at the Water Desalination and Reuse Center at KAUST. His Group investigates physical and chemical phenomena at interfaces of liquid water with air, oils, and perfluorinated coatings, such as wetting, surface forces, electrification, and proton catalyzed reactions. Nature-inspired technologies developed in his Group range from inexpensive materials for boosting crop-yields in arid areas, and coating-free liquid-repellent surfaces. Articles based on his work have appeared in Nature Communications, Science Advances, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (USA), the Journal of Colloid and Interface Science, and journals of the American Chemical Society and the Royal Society of Chemistry. He holds seven patents (granted or pending).
