Manoj Jangid is a Sr. Postdoc (04/2021- till date) at the Mechanical Engineering (University of Michigan, USA). His research focuses on solid-state batteries (SSBs), interface engineering, electrode architectures, and superionic Li-ion conductors. Additionally, he is a DOE-BES Early Career Network Representative. He is a recipient of the Outstanding Postdoctoral Fellow Award (2024) by the University of Michigan.
Previously, he worked as a Senior Research Fellow (09/2019-03/2021) in the Department of Metallurgical Engineering & Materials Science (Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay, India). He also worked as a Research Associate for 6 months after submitting his Ph.D thesis.
Manoj did Ph.D. from IIT Bombay (2013-2019) with Prof. Amartya Mukhopadhyay and highlighted the importance of thin 'buffer interlayers' and their influence on electro-chemo-mechanical stability of battery electrodes by operando techniques (viz. stress monitoring, XRD). Manoj's thesis was selected for the prestigious 'Excellence in PhD Research Award' from IIT Bombay (2020).
Manoj is an active reviewer for several journals including Energy Environ. Sci., ACS Ener. Lett., J. Power Sources, Inorg. Chem., ACS Appl. Mater. Interfaces, ACS Appl. Energy Mater., Carbon, etc.
