Experience:
Postdoctoral Fellow, Department of Chemistry & Bar-Ilan Institute for Nanotechnology and Advanced Materials, Bar-Ilan University, Israel, November 2025 - February 2025
- Projects: 1. Nanoconfinement of dual atoms within single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs), 2. Unraveling the stability of single-atom and dual-atom catalysts (SACs & DACs) using correlative in-situ/operando XAS-XRD and in-situ HAADF-STEM
As a postdoctoral fellow at Bar-Ilan University, my work focused on advanced nanomaterial engineering by embedding dual atoms within carbon nanotubes and investigating the fundamental stability and behaviour of single- and dual-atom catalysts through cutting-edge in situ and operando techniques.
Visited SESAME (Synchrotron-light for Experimental Science and Applications in the Middle East), October 2023.
- Funded by SESAME
- Project: XAS Studies on Single-Atom Electrocatalysts for Energy Applications
During October 2023, I had the opportunity to visit the SESAME synchrotron facility, supported by SESAME funding. My project focused on advanced X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) investigations of single-atom electrocatalysts, aiming to uncover crucial insights into their behaviour and performance in energy-related applications.
Visited Imperial College London – Prof. Anthony Kucernak's Research Group, June - July 2023
Funded by the British Council–Wohl Clean Growth Alliance Fellowship
- Project: Achieving high power density and low platinum loading fuel cells by overcoming sluggish local mass transport processes using floating electrode techniques.
During this fellowship, I joined Prof. Anthony Kucernak’s group at Imperial College London to work on innovative strategies to enhance fuel cell performance. My research focused on developing methods to achieve high power densities and reduce platinum usage, addressing mass transport limitations through advanced floating electrode techniques.
Project Assistant at CSIR–National Chemical Laboratory, India, July 2018 to June 2020.
Funded by the Department of Science and Technology and the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research, India
- Projects: 1. Energy-Efficient Clean Production of Hydrogen, 2. Novel Functional 3D Graphene and Its Inorganic Hybrid Nanostructures for Electrochemical Energy Applications
As a Project Assistant at CSIR-NCL, I contributed to research on sustainable hydrogen generation and the development of advanced materials, focusing on 3D graphene architectures and inorganic hybrid nanostructures for cutting-edge electrochemical energy technologies.
