I am currently working as a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Department of Chemistry at the Indian Institute of Technology Indore (IITI). My research focuses is on energy conversion and energy storage materials, particularly for water/seawater electrolysis (OER CER and HER), supercapacitors, heterogeneous catalysis, biofuel production, and biomass conversion applications.
