About
Postdoctoral Researcher in the Department of Materials Chemistry for Catalysis and CatLab, specializing in electrochemistry and materials science. Expertise includes the design and fabrication of electrocatalysts for electrochemical CO2 conversion and the design and deployment of electrochemical reactors. Additionally, experienced in conducting mechanistic investigations using advanced characterization techniques. Currently, actively learning the Operando investigation of electocatalysts using the X-Ray Spectroscopic investigations using the Synchrotron facilities at BESSY II Light Source @HZB.
I have a strong background in analytical chemistry, having worked as a Research Assistant at CSIR-Indian Institute of Chemical Technology, where I analyzed edible oils for pesticides and metal contaminants using various analytical techniques using GC, GC-MS, HPLC and ICP-OES. I hold a PhD in Materials Science from Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona and a Master's Degree in Analytical Chemistry from the National Institute of Technology Warangal. My goal is to contribute to the development of innovative electrochemical technologies that can address global energy challenges.
