About
This is Dr. Mahesh Itagi. I have completed PhD in Chemistry from VSKUB & Collaboration of IISER Pune. I am currently working with Yeungnam University in the Republic of Korea as an International Research Professor in the Environmental Science and Engineering Research Lab. My research area includes the Synthesis of Inorganic Materials and Macrocycles, Interfacial Electrochemistry, Energy Storage and Conversion Devices, Electrochemical Water Splitting, Electrochemical Production of Fuels, Electro-organic Synthesis, and Electro-chemo Sensors. During my research work, I have published peer-reviewed journals in ACS like Analytical Chemistry, ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering, Journal of Physical Chemistry Part C, Energy & fuels, ACS Applied Energy Materials, and ACS ES&T Water.
Core Technical skills:
• Electrochemistry: Cyclic voltammetry, Linear sweep voltammetry, Linear polarization resistance, i-t amperometric, Impedance spectroscopy, H2 and O2 for ECSA measurements
• Materials Science: Materials Synthesis, Characterization (XRD, TEM, FESEM, BET, Raman, TGA, XPS),
• New Energy Technologies: Green Hydrogen Production (Electrolyzers), Energy Conversion & Storage (Zn-air batteries), Electro-Organic Synthesis During Electricity Generation in a Battery with Simultaneously Fuel Production
Leadership & Management:
•Project Management (Stage-Gate Reviews)
•Cross-functional Team Leadership & Collaboration
•Stakeholder Management
•Mentoring & Supervision
•Conflict Resolution
•Fostering Psychologically Safe Work Environments
Additional Skills:
•Data Analysis & Interpretation (OriginPro, SigmaPlot11.0, XPS Peak, MS-office)
•Technical Report Writing
•Industry HSSE Protocols, MOC, SOP
Electrochemistry Tools: PARSTAT 2273 Power Suite, BioLogic (EC-Lab), CH- Instruments, EG&G (QCM922A and AMETEK PARSTAT MC Multichannel Potentiostat) and AUTOLAB (version 1.11.0).
I can handle all types of work pressure with a calm mind. Now, I want to move to other institutions where I can improve my knowledge and grow.
