Dr. Vishwanath R. S investigates new functional materials for electrochemical applications. The emphasis is on sustainable electrochemical energy conversion and storage methods (photo/electrochemical water splitting, supercapacitor and battery studies), electrochemistry at liquid-liquid interfaces (three-phase, thin-film, and four-electrode configurations) and retrieving energy with water treatment (capacitive/battery desalination). This range of applications is made attainable by an essential pillar of his work: the synthesis and characterization of organometallic complexes, metal-organic frameworks, and organic-inorganic composite materials, whose chemical, morphological and electrical properties can be tuned.
Dr. Vishwanath R. S joined the Centre for Research in Functional Materials (CRFM), JAIN (Deemed-to-be University), in March 2023. Before joining CRFM, he was a postdoctoral fellow at the Department of Chemical Sciences, Ariel University, Israel, supported by the Ariel University International Postdoctoral Fellowship.
Vishwanath earned his Ph.D. in Chemical Science at the Institute of Physical Chemistry, Polish Academy of Sciences, Poland, where he was supported by a Ph.D. scholarship from the National Science Centre (Govt. of Poland), Doctoral Scholarship by Institute of Physical Chemistry, Polish Academy of Sciences, Poland and Secondment opportunity from Department of Applied Chemistry, Chuo University, Tokyo, Japan. His Ph.D. research has been recognized with honours, including an outstanding Ph.D. student award and the First Poster award in the 9th ‘International Workshop on Surface Modification for Chemical and Biochemical Sensing’ held in November 2019 in Poland.
Vishwanath enjoys meeting up with friends and family, going to the cinema and visiting places in his spare time.
