Anupriya K. Haridas, PhD, MRSC.
Anupriya is a seasoned material scientist with extensive research experience (10+ years) in the field of energy storage, specializing in Li-ion and post-Li-ion battery chemistries, spanning from sodium-ion to lithium-sulfur, and room-temperature sodium-sulfur. Her research integrates the disciplines of material science, electrochemistry, and engineering, investigating the intrinsic challenges for developing scalable and high-performance sustainable energy storage materials.
Previously, she served as an Assistant Professor (Cathode Active Material- Synthesis, Characterisation and Evaluation) at Warwick Manufacturing Group (WMG), University of Warwick, UK, in a research-focused role where she led cutting-edge research tackling the interfacial challenges in sustainable cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries to facilitate their scale-up and bridge the gap between industry and academia. Before joining WMG, she was a Research Associate in the Department of Engineering at King's College London. Her expertise in next-generation battery chemistries, including sodium-ion and metal-sulfur batteries, stems from her research experience as a Senior Researcher at the Research Institute for Green Energy Technology, South Korea.
She completed her doctoral degree in the Department of Materials Engineering & Convergence Technology at Gyeongsang National University, South Korea, under the Brain Korea 21 (BK21) fellowship, funded by the Korean government. Her interdisciplinary research on energy storage devices benefits from holding a Master's in Nanotechnology (funded by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy Resources (MNRE), India), complemented by a Bachelor's degree in Electrical & Electronics Engineering. She has been involved in several academic and industrial projects within India, South Korea, and the UK and enjoys collaborating with diverse and multidisciplinary teams to advance electrochemical energy storage devices for sustainable clean energy applications, in line with achieving net-zero targets.
