Work History

Prime Minsiter’s Research Fellow

School of Energy Science and Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur
Kharagpur
2020.12 - 2024.12
  • Thesis Title: Integrated Energy Generation and Storage Systems
  • Thesis Supervisors: Prof. Amreesh Chandra and Dr. Trilok Singh
  • Doctorate fellow in the School of Energy Science and Engineering, at Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur.
  • The doctoral work focuses on the fabrication of "Integrated Energy Generation and Storage Systems" that incorporate both energy harvesting and storing mechanisms typically suitable for renewable energy resources. This research work aims to provide sustainable and off-grid electricity in semi-urban and rural areas of India, where grid connectivity may be poor or non-existent.
  • Prototype development based on integrated power generation technology, which allows direct conversion of solar energy to hydrogen fuel by incorporating solar cells and a water electrolyzer setup.
  • Metal recycling from waste batteries, water electrolyzers, and supercapacitors and reutilizing those materials for other energy applications.
