Mayur Bonkile is currently a Post Doctoral Research Associate at the Imperial College London, working on physics-based Li-ion battery modelling under the Faraday Institution's Multiscale Modelling project. He joined the Electrochemical Science and Engineering group to develop composite silicon/graphite anodes degradation models in PyBaMM with  Prof. Gregory Offer and Dr Billy Wu. His doctoral thesis at the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay is on the integration of renewable hybrid power systems with battery energy storage. Dr Venkatasailanathan Ramadesigan supervised his PhD research to develop a physics-based modelling framework for renewable hybrid power systems that includes electrochemical energy storage systems. Mayur received his B.Tech. in Mechanical Engineering from the Government College of Engineering Amravati and his M.Tech. in Thermal Sciences from the National Institute of Technology Calicut Kerala. During his Masters program, he developed higher-order numerical simulation models for solving Burgers' equation as part of his dissertation work, demonstrating his capabilities as a researcher.

In addition to his academic pursuits, Mayur has a well-rounded personality and has participated in several extra-curricular events. He is an accomplished science communicator and public speaker, having won the "FameLab India" competition and representing India in the "FameLab International 2017" at the Cheltenham Science Festival in the UK. He was also a finalist in the "EURAXESS Science Slam India 2017" and won the "Swiss Science Slam 2019."
