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
Material synthesis and characterization, electrochemical characterization, development of electroactive inks, and optimization of printing parameters for device fabrication using additive manufacturing. Integration of devices with energy harvesters and sensors, along with manuscript writing, partner communication, and project reporting.
Fields of expertise
Synthesis of non toxic, biodegradable, and environmentally friendly electroactive materials (e.g., nanoparticles, porous carbon materials, thin films, composites) for next-generation printed energy storage devices, including supercapacitors and batteries.
