Aditya Menon graduated from the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) in 2021 with a B.S. in Chemical Engineering. At UCSB, he worked in the McFarland Group on molten salt-mediated methane pyrolysis for clean hydrogen production. He then joined the R&D team at Boston Metal to develop the Molten Oxide Electrolysis process, a high temperature electrochemical process to decarbonize steel production. At Northwestern, he is co-advised by the Sargent and Seitz groups and is studying anodic hydrocarbon oxidation reactions to decarbonize the production of commodity chemicals.
