After graduating from the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur in 2016 (Ph.D.), Chhatrasal continued his research on thermoelectricity and Sensor technology. He is an active materials scientist as well as a physicist, and is working on experimental and computational materials science, electrical and thermal transport, and energy conversion devices. He has expertise in the wide-range of thermoelectric materials like chalcogenides, silicides, silicon-based, oxides, intermetallics, and materials characterization techniques, as well as predicting through computational materials science. He always trying to find out a simple (easiest) way for experimentation, and to express the sciences.
