Postdoc Fellow
This is my second postdoctoral stint and I switched departments to get experience in engineering aspects of electrolyzer systems. Joined new group, helped set-up the lab, wrote grant proposals (NASA-REAP, NASA-EPSCoR, mentored undergraduate students and graduate students. Built flow cell electrolyzer system with online mass spectrometer to analysis in real time. built in-situ ATR-SEIRAS system for mechnaistic analysis. Completed work on CO2 electrolysis. Represented group work in American Institute of Chemical Engineering Meeting (2021), North American Catalysis Society meeting (2022), Annual postdoctoral symposium Clemson (2021).
December 2019 - November 2020
DST-OSVF Postdoc Fellow
As a part of postdoctoral fellowship granted by DST, India, worked in the group of Prof. Kamat (Radiation Lab, University of Notre Dame) on Bipolar membrane, probing the vectorial charge transport across the cross section of bipolar membrane for its potential use in CO2 reduction (serving as single substrate for cathode and anode). The results were published in peer reviewed journal and the output has the direct implications in MEA type CO2 electrolyzers.
November 2018 - November 2019
Research Associate
Started CO2 reduction project in the research group and provided mentor ship to a graduate student. Fabricated custom designed cell for electrochemical and photoelectrochemical CO2 reduction.
