About
Dr. Shalini Tomar is currently an Assistant Professor at the Manipal Institute of Applied Physics (MIAP), Manipal Academy of Higher Education (MAHE). Prior to joining MAHE, she worked as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at IKST until March 2026, where she worked on the computational design of advanced functional materials for energy and environmental applications.
She holds a doctoral degree in Computational Materials Science from Bundelkhand University, Jhansi, and IIT Kanpur, in 2021. Prior to this, she completed her M.Phil. (Nanotechnology) and M.Sc. (Physics) from Bundelkhand University, Jhansi. In 2019, she joined the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER), Bhopal, as a Research Associate. During her tenure there, she focused on the Time-Dependent Density Functional Theory of excited state dynamics in Transition-Metal Dichalcogenides (TMDCs) nanostructures and Plasmonic materials for solar cell and optoelectronic device applications. Later, in June 2021, she moved to Harish Chandra Research Institute (HRI), Prayagraj, where her work centered around "Efficient Hydrogen Generation Through Improved Catalytic Pathway Prediction on Layered Materials," specifically focusing on the Hydrogen Evolution Reaction (HER) and Oxygen Evolution Reaction (OER) in TMDCs. Since joining IKST in July 2023, she has been focusing on methane oxidation, Mxene, and metal oxide surfaces as catalyst supports
