Biography
​

I received my master’s degree from Sri Venkateswara University, India. I received my PhD from Kyung Hee University, South Korea in 2020 with the best dissertation award. My research focussed on the study of energy storage and conversion behaviour of metal oxides-based nano-microstructure that directly deposited on current collectors. As a Postdoc, I continued my research in the same lab for more than a year.

Soon after, I joined Prof. Tadhg Kennedy’s group as a Research Associate at the Bernal Institute, University of Limerick, Ireland, where my work was focussed on the of high-voltage cathodes development for Na-ion batteries.
In 2023, I joined Nuria Tapia-Ruiz’s group at Imperial College London as a Research Associate. My research was focussed on the design of templated-hard carbons for Na-ion battery anodes and study the correlation of their microstructure with the electrochemistry.  My work also involved in the making of hard carbon-composite with alloying-type materials (Sn and P).

More recently, I joined the XERODE commercialization project led by Prof. Rachel Smith and Prof. Denis Cumming. My work will be focussing on the formulation of battery active materials particles for Dry electrode manufacturing process.
