Education:

He is currently serving as a Senior Research Fellow (INSPIRE DST Fellow) at the Energy Materials and Devices Division (formerly FCBD) of CSIR-Central Glass and Ceramic Research Institute since October 2022. Under the guidance of Dr. Mir Wasim Raja, he is dedicated to the development of All Solid-State Lithium Batteries using Novel Electrolytes. Prior to this role, he held the position of Junior Research Fellow (INSPIRE DST Fellow) at the same division from October 2020 to October 2022, also under the supervision of Dr. M.W. Raja. Concurrently, he is pursuing his PhD at Jadavpur University since March 2022, focusing on the same topic of developing All Solid-State Lithium Batteries using Novel Electrolytes. He holds a Master of Science (M.Sc.) in Physics with a specialization in Condensed Matter Physics from Banaras Hindu University and a Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) in Physics Hons. from Mohsin College. His academic journey began with Higher Secondary (H.S.) and Secondary (Madhyamik) education in Science from Puinan High School and Gossain Mali Para High School, respectively, both in West Bengal, India. His academic achievements and research endeavors reflect his dedication and passion for advancing the field of energy materials and devices.

Experience:

For his dissertation project, he collaborated with Dr. R. S. Tiwari, a Professor in the Department of Physics at Banaras Hindu University in Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, India. The project centered around the hydrothermal synthesis of tungsten oxide nanostructures, emphasizing experimental techniques to fabricate and characterize these materials. This endeavor allowed him to delve into the realm of nanotechnology, exploring novel methods for the production of nanostructured materials with potential applications in various fields. Through these experiences, he honed his research skills, gained practical knowledge, and contributed to advancements in the respective domains under the guidance of esteemed mentors.
