I am working as Marie Curie Energy for Future (E4F) fellow (April 2024- June 2026) at Imperial College London, UK. I received my Ph.D. degree (2019) in Physics from Visvesvaraya National Institute of Technology, India and joined as CNRS Postdoctoral Research Fellow (May 2019- January 2021) at the Institut Charles Gerhardt Montpellier (ICGM), Université de Montpellier in France. I worked as Assistant professor and Marie Curie CONEX-Plus Fellow (February 2021- April 2024) at University Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M), Madrid, Spain. 

My previous scientific interests focus on the synthesis of nanostructures and fabrication of flexible solid-state devices for supercapacitor applications. My current research focus includes the synthesis of cathode materials for lithium, sodium and potassium-ion batteries, as well as the in situ/operando X-ray based characterizations for the understanding of battery mechanisms. My research interests also emphasize on synthesis of nanostructures for next-generation energy storage applications and fabrication of flexible energy storage devices to investigate electrochemical behaviors. It is based on the synthesis and development of materials with architecture and controlled functionalities and in the chemistry and physico-chemistry of colloids and interfaces. It develops a set of methodological and experimental approaches applied to the fields of energy storage, environmental remediation and depollution. 

My Research approach includes both experimental and modeling approaches to polymeric, carbon, metallic, mineral oxide, hybrid or composite materials. A special effort is dedicated to the structuring, at different scales, of the materials, in coherence with their implementation, implying the creation of the porosity and the control of the porous architecture. The synergy between experiment and theory - both microscopically and macroscopically - is also exploited to study the surface activity and interfacial behavior of different colloidal systems and materials in the context of energy storage. The fundamental research to determine reaction mechanisms and understand the degradation mechanisms that lead to premature aging of materials during the operation of electrochemical devices, in order to propose strategies to mitigate these effects. 

In the past 5 years, I have worked in leading international institutions in the world, located in France, Spain, Germany, Sweden, and Denmark. I ahve been doing own research on the "hot" topic of metal-ion batteries for the last couple of years. As the Main Researcher and Principal Investigator (PI), I have gathered funding of more than 3,68,000 Euros (equivalent to 3 Crore 31 Lakh Indian rupees) to date.

I have contributed more than 100 scientific articles so far. The articles are published in high impact factor journals such as Chemistry of Materials, Applied Catalysis B: Environmental, Nano Energy, Chemical Engineering Journal, Journal of Energy Chemistry, ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces etc.

Recently, I am listed in the world’s top 2% scientists list 2023 published by Stanford University.
