Aswathi Harikumar Email & Phone Number

Currently, I am working as Project Assistant in Battery Research Lab at Hindustan Petroleum Green R & D Centre. In the field of Battery Research, I have expertise in battery material synthesis and optimization using various chemical methods such as Co-precipitation, Sol-Gel, and solvothermal. My skills also extend to preparing slurry mixtures, coating at different thicknesses, calendaring and punching of coated slurries as well as fabricating coin cells for electrochemical characterization.I have worked with a range of laboratory equipment including Coating machine, Calendaring machine, Punching machine, Crimping machine, and glove box. I am proficient in using a variety of analytical tools such as Biologic Electrochemical Cell Analyser, Neware etc.During the period of the project at Photosceinces and Photonics Section, CSIR-NIIST, I have expertise in the design of new materials, synthesis and characterization, the study of purity and photophysical aspects, and optimization of the material composition. As part of the project, I got extensive training and developed expertise in various analytical and spectroscopic equipment including semi-preparative HPLC, Column chromatography, Rotatory evaporator, and various spectrometers like UV-Vis, Fluorescence, IR, Raman, and NMR techniques. I have computer proficiency in softwares like MS Office, Origin, Chemdraw and MestReNova.
