Experience
post-doctoral fellow
uc santa barbara
Developed cleavable graft copolymers based on polythiophene and studied its application as a hole transporter in plastic solar cells. Involved in synthesis and characterization of fully-oxidized oligothiophene-S,S-dioxides for use in Field effect transistors. Also, worked on developing cleavable triblock copolymers for lithographic application.
senior scientist
seeo inc.
* Instrumental in development and industrial scale production of Seeo’s 1st generation block copolymer separator for fully solid-state lithium battery. * Demonstrated improvement in mechanical stability of the separator using different cross-linking methods. * Led research on new polymeric materials for room temperature conductivity and have developed various copolymers based on PEO, polysiloxane and polyesters. * Was involved in development of high voltage-stable catholyte materials. * Led syntheses of a variety of lithium salts that are oxidatively stable and superior in lithium ion conductivity. * Involved in covalently modifying NCA/NCM particles to prevent oxidative degradation of catholyte during high-voltage operation.
