I am currently a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Oxford, in collaboration with Imperial College London, where my research focuses on spectroelectrochemistry of electrocatalytic systems for sustainable energy conversion.
I received my Ph.D. in Chemistry in September 2019 from Visvesvaraya National Institute of Technology (VNIT), Nagpur, India. Following my doctoral studies, I conducted postdoctoral research at Kyungpook National University (KNU), Daegu, Republic of Korea (November 2019 – July 2022), working on advanced functional materials for energy and optoelectronic applications. After a personal break, I joined the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Hyderabad as a Guest Researcher (May 2023 – August 2023), further strengthening my expertise in photocatalysis and materials chemistry. I was subsequently selected as a Brain Pool Fellow at the Korea Institute of Energy Technology (KENTECH), Naju, Republic of Korea, and was awarded a prestigious individual research grant from the National Research Foundation (NRF) of Korea in 2022.
My research is centered on the rational design of next-generation materials for solar energy conversion and sustainable chemical production. This includes halide perovskite-based wide-bandgap solar cells and all-perovskite tandem devices, as well as visible-light-driven photocatalytic and photoelectrochemical systems for solar fuel generation, particularly water splitting and CO₂ reduction. In addition, my work extends to the development of optoelectronic and sensing devices, including photodetectors and toxic gas sensors, alongside emerging interests in plasma-assisted chemistry and carbon-neutral fuel synthesis pathways.
