About

Krish did his undergraduate studies in Chemistry at Kakatiya University, Warangal (TS, India) before moving to Bangalore for his doctorate at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc, Bangalore) with Prof. Prabeer Barpanda. His doctoral research focused on the AxMn3O7 class of layered oxides (Versatile Battery Cathodes), emphasizing structure and electrochemistry. During his PhD, he visited Prof. Valarie Pralong's group at CRISMAT (Caen, France) to work on Operando X-ray analysis of some novel K-ion layered oxides and also visited the University of Cambridge under the Newton-Bhabha PhD Placement program. He worked for five months with Prof. Sian E. Dutton (Maxwell center, Cavendish Labs) to understand the magnetic behavior of battery materials during (de)interaction of alkali-ions. In 2019, Krish was recognized as a Japan Society for the Promotion of Science HOPE Fellow, attending the 11th HOPE Meeting with Nobel Laureates in Okinawa, Japan. He has received the ICDD Ludo Frevel scholarship award and ECS E. G. Weston Summer Fellowship-2021. Post-PhD, Krish joined Prof. Mauro Pasta’s group in October 2021 as a Faraday Institute Research Fellow, contributing to the understanding of the electro-chemo-mechanical properties of Lithium metal-solid electrolyte interface. Krish moved to the University of Texas at Austin, working on fundamental aspects of Na-/ K-ion batteries anode free batteries, interfaces and solid-state batteries. Recently, he joined Xerion as Senior Scientist to explore the electroplating of highly dense cathode materials. Beyond his academic pursuits, Krish has a passion for traveling and enjoys cooking, Playing Badminton and practicing yoga during his free time.
