M.Sc. Chemistry student at Indian Institute of Technology Bombay with a strong academic background in physical chemistry, electrochemistry, and materials science, along with research experience in advanced energy storage materials. Worked on hard carbon anodes, surface modification strategies, SEI engineering, electrolyte–electrode interfacial studies, and low-temperature sodium-ion battery systems. Experienced in electrochemical characterization, materials analysis, and scientific data interpretation, with a strong interest in sustainable battery technologies and next-generation energy storage systems.

Interned at Prof. Srinivasan Ramakrishnan's lab, IIT Bombay, where my research focused on hard carbon materials for electrochemical applications. Investigated how particle size influences cell performance — comparing Kuraray Type-II Hard Carbon (micron-sized) and Nano Carbon Flourets (NCF) (nano-sized) based on cycling performance. Since Rct is inversely proportional to surface area, which depends on particle size, the study explored this relationship to optimize performance. NCF samples were synthesized in Prof. Chandramouli Subramaniam's lab as part of a collaborative study. #SummerInternship #IITBombay #Electrochemistry #HardCarbon #MaterialsScience #Nanotechnology
