Postdoctoral Research Associate

ULSAN NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY, SOUTH KOREA

Employed with UNIST in Energy and chemical engineering department, I have gained experience in electrochemical cells (e.g. coin cell, prismatic cell and pouch cell) and electrode design, optimization of cell components, stack engineering for large scale energy storage device, and electrochemical characterizations in the area of seawater batteries. I have demonstrated strong problem-solving skills and the ability to work in high pressure and challenging working environment.

I have research experience in the field of Electrochemistry especially designing different aspects of OER and CER electrocatalysts and membrane electrode assembly (MEA). I have detailed exposure of desalination seawater battery, electrolyser and fuel cells. I was involved in the projects that were funded by ISRO, DST and EWP KOREA East-West Power Co., LTD.
