Personal profile
Biography
An individual passionate about learning and works in the field of Energy Storage Systems and Fuel Cells, which I adore. I have worked on synthesis, characterization, and electrochemical testing of chemical materials for the applications of Lithium Ion Battery, Aqueous Sodium-Ion Battery, Sodium-Ion Battery, Supercapacitors, and Photocatalyst materials. Currently, I am continuing my Doctoral Education at Bernal Institute, University of Limerick, Ireland, in which I am focusing on the Synthesis, Characterization, and Electrochemical Testing of Silicon Nanowires/Graphite Anode Material for Lithium Ion Batteries in SiGNE Project Funded by Europe Horizon.
Research Interests
My research interests lie in the design, synthesis, and optimization of advanced materials and systems for next-generation energy storage technologies. I am particularly focused on lithium-ion and sodium-ion batteries, exploring novel silicon/graphite composite anode materials and high-performance cathodes to improve energy density and cycling stability. I am also interested in the development of sustainable battery electrolytes and aqueous battery systems for safer and more environmentally friendly energy storage. Additionally, I aim to utilize metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) and biomass-derived carbon materials through controlled carbonization processes to create high-surface-area, conductive electrode structures. My work extends to battery recycling and materials recovery, contributing to the circular economy and sustainable battery manufacturing. Overall, my goal is to advance the understanding and practical realization of durable, efficient, and sustainable next-generation batteries.
Teaching Interests
My teaching interests center on energy systems engineering with a strong emphasis on electrochemical energy storage technologies. Drawing from my research experience in the battery field, I am passionate about teaching courses related to battery materials, electrochemistry, energy conversion and storage, and sustainable energy systems. I aim to bridge fundamental science with practical engineering applications, helping students understand the full lifecycle of energy systems—from material synthesis and device fabrication to performance evaluation and recycling. I am also interested in developing laboratory-based and project-oriented courses that encourage hands-on learning in areas such as lithium-ion and sodium-ion batteries, next-generation batteries, and renewable energy integration. Through teaching, I strive to inspire students to think critically, design innovatively, and contribute meaningfully to the global transition toward sustainable energy technologies.
