I am currently serving as a Post-doctoral Fellow at Pusan National University, Busan, South Korea, since March 2023, where I continue to expand my knowledge and research expertise. My academic journey includes a Master’s degree in Physics (2011) and a Ph.D. in Physics (2019), both from Shivaji University, Kolhapur, India. During my doctoral studies, I was honored with the prestigious Golden Jubilee Research Fellowship awarded by the Department of Physics.
Following the completion of my Ph.D., my research has centered on the development of innovative nanostructured materials for advanced applications, particularly in energy storage. As technology continues to evolve, there is a growing need for compact and powerful digital devices, which in turn demands high-performance and environmentally friendly energy storage solutions. This has led to the development of next-generation devices such as advanced batteries, fuel cells, and mid-frequency supercapacitors—systems with immense potential for industrial applications.
Supercapacitors, in particular, are gaining attention for their rapid charge/discharge capabilities—up to 100 times faster than traditional lithium-ion batteries—and their impressive energy storage capacity of up to 60 Wh/kg. Remarkably, they can endure nearly a million charge cycles, making them exceptionally durable. Their ability to deliver high bursts of energy makes them ideal for modern needs such as electric transportation and grid stabilization. With an annual growth rate of 20%, the global supercapacitor market is projected to reach $4.8 billion by 2027. Beyond economics, these technologies also support the global shift toward sustainable and eco-friendly energy systems.
In my current research, I focus on the electrochemical design and optimization of electrode materials with high areal and volumetric capacities. The goal is to achieve superior energy efficiency while minimizing environmental impact. I am also exploring the broader applications of these advanced nanomaterials across various technologies. My work aims to strike a balance between technological advancement and environmental responsibility, contributing to a cleaner and more sustainable future.
