Research Experience

1. Postdoc in Imperial College London, UK, since January 2012 to October 2014, in an Indo-UK joint research initiative funded by Research Council UK and DST-India. The title of the project is “Mind the Gap - jumping the hurdles limiting polymer fuel cell performance and commercialisation”. The collaborators are IIT Delhi, IIT Madras, Centre for Fuel Cell Technology – Chennai, Imperial College London, University College London, and Newcastle University. The project was also sponsored by Intelligent Energy, UK Trade & Investment (UKTI), National Physical Laboratory UK, and Bac2 Limited. 


2. Worked concurrently with Ph.D. in a sponsored project entitled “Development and performance evaluation of carbon-polymer composite bipolar plate for proton exchange membrane fuel cell”, in Department of Chemical Engineering, IIT Guwahati (PI: Dr. Anil Verma, tenure: 2007–2010). Theproject was funded by the Board of Research in Nuclear Sciences, Department of Atomic Energy, Government of India.


3.  “Development of advanced composite bipolar plate for proton exchange membrane fuel cell”, M. Tech. Project, National Physical Laboratory, New Delhi, India.


4. “Design and Fabrication of Microstrip Devices Deposited on Polystyrene Substrate Doped with Alumina (Al2O3) and Titania (TiO2)”, M.Sc. Project, Department of Physics, Tezpur University, Tezpur, Assam, India.
