Yashwant Pratap Kharwar

About

I am Yashwant Pratap Kharwar, born at Deoria district in the state of Uttar Pradesh, India. I have completed my graduate degree from DDU Gorakhpur University and moved to Prayagraj (Allahabad) to pursue post graduation (Master of Science in Chemistry) from University of Allahabad with specialization in Physical Chemistry. I worked on "Theory and practical on Raman spectroscopy" as my M.Sc. project thesis. After graduating, I started research in Electrochemistry lab at Department of Chemistry, Banaras Hindu University with Prof. Ravindranath Singh as a short period of one year then moved to Indian Institute of Technology Madras for full-time PhD research. I joined the PhD under Dr. Kothandaraman R. and started research over synthesis and characterization of cathode catalysts for Oxygen reduction reaction in fuel cell application.
