Dr.A.Pandikumar

About

Dr. Alagarsamy Pandikumar obtained his Ph.D in Chemistry (2014) from the Madurai Kamaraj University, Madurai. He successfully completed his post-doctoral fellowship tenure (2014-2016) at the University of Malaya, Malaysia under High Impact Research Grant. He was appointed as a Scientist in Functional Materials Division, CSIR-Central Electrochemical Research Institute, Karaikudi, India. His current research involves development of novel materials with graphene, graphitic carbon nitride, in combination to metals, metal oxides, polymers and carbon nanotubes for energy conversion and storage, dye-sensitized solar cells and electrochemical sensors applications. His results outcomes were documented in 110 in peer-reviewed journals including 9 review articles and also have more than 3400 citations with the h−index of 35. On other side, he served as Guest Editor for a special issue in Materials Focus journal and edited 11 books for reputed publishers.
