PhD Electrochemist | Fuel Cells & Battery Specialist | Scientific Writing & Technical Consulting

Profile Summary

I am an electrochemist with a PhD from CSIR-CECRI, with deep expertise in polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells and zinc-air battery diagnostics. My experience spans both academia and industry, from fundamental membrane research to real-world battery failure analysis and mitigation, giving me a practical understanding of challenges at every stage of the development pipeline. My core competencies include electrochemical characterisation, impedance spectroscopy and ECM-based analysis, electrode fabrication, membrane development, full-cell testing, and materials characterisation (XRD, SEM, FTIR, TGA, AFM). I have contributed to 10 peer-reviewed publications in journals such as Journal of Membrane Science (IF 10), ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces (IF 8.5), and Small (IF 12). I offer consulting and technical writing services to academic groups, startups, and companies working in clean energy and electrochemical systems. This includes: R&D consulting and experimental troubleshooting Technical reports and white papers Literature reviews and technology landscape analyses Grant writing support Manuscript writing and editing Whether you need a domain expert to think through a research problem or someone to communicate your science clearly and credibly, I can help.
