About

I am a postdoctoral researcher in the School of Chemical Engineering and Technology at Xinjiang University, China, with a Ph.D. in Chemistry from Anna University, India. My research focuses on the design and development of advanced functional materials for sustainable energy conversion, environmental remediation, and electrochemical technologies.

My research interests include electrocatalysis, hydrogen production, water electrolysis, advanced electrode materials, and sustainable energy technologies. I am particularly interested in developing transition-metal-based catalysts, metal phosphides, metal oxides, MXenes, and transition metal dichalcogenides for hydrogen evolution, oxygen evolution, and hydrazine-assisted electrolysis. My work also explores catalyst and reactor development, electrochemical energy conversion, bioelectrochemical systems, and the integration of renewable energy with sustainable hydrogen production.

In addition to energy-related research, I have contributed to the development of functional nanomaterials and hybrid coatings for environmental applications, including solar-driven water evaporation, corrosion protection, and photocatalytic degradation of pollutants.

My research aims to bridge materials chemistry, electrochemical engineering, and sustainable technologies by developing efficient, durable, and scalable materials and systems for real-world applications. I am interested in interdisciplinary collaborations that advance innovative solutions in clean energy, environmental sustainability, and electrochemical technology.
