👋 Hello!I am a Material Chemist with more than 5 years of research experience in materials/catalyst development and electrochemistry for energy and environmental applications. I aspire to become a quantitative researcher and be able to be a bridge between academia, industry and the public.🚀 My missionOver the years the global energy demand is rapidly escalating. Leveraging my communication skills with my research experience I aim to facilitate the development of new energy technologies using renewable energy sources that can meet the end user requirement without posing a threat to our environment.👩‍🔬Research Currently I work as a Post-Doctoral fellow at the University of Toronto with Prof. Ted Sargent. My research is focused on development and designing of highly efficient and durable materials that can effectively catalyze various electrochemical reactions needed to facilitate the transition towards a greener economy. Mentored and helped undergraduate students as a part of project oriented chemical education program, M.Sc. students during their summer internship.Research Interests: H2 generation, CO2 utilization, Sodium-ion batteries, Power to fuel technology.🥼Domain skillsTechnical expertise: Development of metal and carbon based materials for CO2 utilization to value-added chemicals, H2 generation. Cathode development for fuel cells and anode development for metal-ion batteries.Synthesis of nanomaterials: Inorganic wet chemical and solid-state syntheses using Schlenk line, glove box etc.Instrument handling experience: XRD, UV-Vis, FT-IR, ICP-OES, Electrochemical workstations, Glove box, GC, GC-MS, HPLC, Microscope, EIS.Analytical data interpretation: Understand analytical reports of XRD, XPS, XRF, EXAFS, SEM, TEM, IR, UV, DRIFTS, BET, ICP-OES, NMR, GC, GC-MS, HPLC, Raman, EIS, VoltammetryPreliminary experience of DFT calculations to understand density of states, optimized geometries, BFDH simulations.𝐈 𝐚𝐦 𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐥𝐲 𝐬𝐞𝐞𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐮𝐥𝐥-𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬.
