Editing Man Mohan Sharma (section)

==Academic career==
Sharma made contributions to chemical engineering science and technology. His studies on Bronsted based catalysis in CO<sub>2</sub> hydration (published in the Transactions of Faraday Society) and subsequently kinetics of COS absorption in aqueous amines and alkanolamines brought out linear free energy relationship between CO<sub>2</sub> and COS absorption in solutions of amines and alkanolamines. He has contributed extensively on the role of microphases in multiple reactions which he pioneered. He also became an independent Editor of Chemical Engineering Science at a young age. He taught different subjects in chemical engineering and encouraged his doctoral students, from the very beginning, to publish independently their work in renowned journals.

Under his stewardship, UDCT was granted autonomy by the [[University Grants Commission (India)|UGC]] and the Institute increased the number of PhD graduates.<ref name="ICT_profile"/>
