Current Research interest

I am a dedicated Battery Scientist specializing in electrolyte chemistry, anode material development, and battery performance optimization. With expertise in lithium-ion and next-generation battery technologies, I focus on enhancing energy density, cycle life, and safety through material innovation and advanced cell fabrication techniques.

Expertise & Key Skills:

1. Anode Material Development – Research & synthesis of high-performance anode materials, including Silicon (Si), Si/Carbon composites, and Transition Metal Oxides (TMO) for next-generation batteries.

2. Electrolyte Chemistry – Formulation and preparation of liquid electrolyte ensuring enhanced ionic conductivity, stability, and compatibility.

3. Electrolyte Characterization & Chemical Analysis – Skilled in measuring viscosity, density, ionic conductivity, moisture content, and free acid levels to ensure electrolyte performance and stability.

4. Battery Testing & Characterization – Expertise in CV, GCD, EIS and Rate Capability testing for comprehensive performance evaluation.

5. Lab Setup & Equipment Handling – Experience in establishing and managing battery R&D labs, including glove box handling, coin cell assembly, and material characterization tools.

6. Pouch Cell Fabrication – Hands-on expertise in assembling, sealing, and testing pouch cells for prototype development and performance assessment.

7. Materials Innovation – Exploring novel materials for lithium-ion, solid-state, and sodium-ion battery applications. 

I have hands-on experience with a range of synthesis techniques, as well as material and electrochemical characterization and interpretation. Specifically, I have worked with instruments such as the Rigaku MiniFlex 600 XRD and Rigaku ULTIMA 4 diffractometer, the NEWARE and WONTECH Battery cyclers, the Biologic SP-150 electrochemical workstation, the Glovebox, the Jasco NRS-2100 Laser Raman Spectrometer, and the Hitachi TGA. I am also familiar with various other characterization techniques.
