Chirag Mevada
About me
I work as a postdoctoral research fellow at Tampere University. My research focuses on synthesizing non-toxic, biodegradable, and environmentally friendly electroactive materials for next-generation printed energy storage devices.
Responsibilities
Leading research and project management within the Horizon Europe SUINK project (SUstainable self-charging power systems developed by INKjet printing), focusing on materials development, printed energy storage device fabrication, system integration with sensors and energy harvesters, consortium communication, scientific publishing, and project reporting.
Fields of expertise
Synthesis of non toxic electroactive materials (e.g., nanoparticles, porous carbon materials, thin films, composites) for next-generation printed energy storage devices, including supercapacitors and batteries.
Project links
Mission statement
