About
My current research work mainly focused on the field of electrochemical energy storage devices like Li ion batteries & supercapcitors. I have worked as research associate at Department of Chemistry, Indian Institute of Technology Madras, India. I completed bachelor's (B.Sc) and master's (M.Sc) degree from St. Joseph's College, Bharthidasan University, Trichy, Tamil Nadu, India and Ph.D. in Chemistry from SRM Institute of Science and Technology, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India. In my PhD, I worked on the development of electrode materials for Li ion batteries and supercapacitor applications.
