Short Bio
Welcome to the Energy Materials, Characterization, and Device Engineering Group page in the Department of Sustainable Energy Engineering at IIT Kanpur.
Our focus is on engineering materials and interfaces for:
- Energy Storage (primarily solid-state batteries),
- Multi-layer spectrally-selective thin film coatings, and
- Building-integrated photovoltaics.
Through advanced ex-situ, in-situ and operando characterization techniques, we also try to understand microstructural, chemical, and electrochemical evolution in the bulk and at interfaces.
Education
