Prateek Mehta has a diverse and extensive work experience spanning multiple industries and research institutions. Prateek started their career as a Process Engineering Intern at Phillips Carbon Black Limited in 2010 and later worked as a Summer Undergraduate Researcher at the Technical University of Hamburg in 2011.

In 2014, Prateek joined the Robert Bosch Research and Technology Center as a Computational Materials Intern. Prateek then started working as a Graduate Research Assistant at the University of Notre Dame in 2014 and continued in this role until 2019.

After completing their graduate research, Prateek worked as a Computational Chemistry and Materials Science Summer Fellow at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in 2016. Prateek also gained international research experience as a Visiting Researcher at the University of Antwerp (2018) and DIFFER - Dutch Institute for Fundamental Energy Research (2018).

In 2019, Prateek joined ExxonMobil as an Advanced Researcher in Process Innovation, where they focused on carbon footprint reduction of catalytic processes and catalysis for low emissions fuels. Prateek utilized physics-based and data-driven models to discover and develop new active materials and processes. Prateek also developed software capabilities to accelerate materials and process R&D across the organization.

Prateek's most recent role is at Mitra Chem as an Engineering Manager. Prateek leads the Data Science Team, which consists of research scientists, data scientists, software engineers, and instrumentation engineers. Their work encompasses machine learning, physics-based modeling, hardware and software automation, and data infrastructure development to expedite research and development cycles for cathode materials.

Prateek Mehta holds a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degree in Chemical Engineering from the University of Notre Dame, which they obtained from 2014 to 2019.
