About

I received BSc (2006), MSc (2008) degrees in physics from Calicut University and Mahatma Gandhi University, India. From 2009 to 2012, I was with CMET, Thrissur, India, as project staff and worked in the area of piezoelectric (PZT-PZN) actuators and transparent conductive oxide (CuAlO2, Al doped ZnO) films. In 2012, I joined as a researcher at CENIMAT, NOVA School of Science and Technology in Lisbon, Portugal in the area transparent thin film transistor.
I completed a PhD in electronic engineering from the Institute of Electron Technology, Poland (2012–2015) (Marie Curie ITN Program) in the area of printed electrochemical pH sensors. After completion of the PhD, I worked for one year as a research Engineer in the same institute. Between 2016 and 2022, I was a post-doctoral fellow at the University of Glasgow in various roles, including research assistant, research associate and scientific project manager of a Marie Curie ITN project. Currently, my research focuses on material synthesis, wearable energy storage, textile-based sensors and energy storage, electrochemical sensors, supercapacitors, electrochromic energy storage and energy-autonomous sensing systems development.
I authored/co-authored more than 80+ peer-reviewed papers (65+ journals). I was shortlisted for important awards such as the European Commission for Marie Curie Awards in the “Promising Research Talent” category, the “Outstanding Young Scientists Scholarship Award” from the Polish Ministry of Higher Education and the RIENG 2024 Young Investigator Award. I am currently also working as the editor of Chemical Engineering Journal and Results in Engineering Journal, Elsevier.
