Dr. Bijandra Kumar completed his PhD in Material Science and Engineering from Université Bretagne Sud, France in 2010. Currently, he is working at the Department of Technology at ECSU as an Assistant Professor (he started in 2017). With more than 10 years of research experience in top institutes, Dr. Kumar's research interests focus on developing nanomaterial-based biomarker sensors, electro-catalytic reactions, electrochemical energy storage (e.g., metal-ion and metal-air batteries), and energy conversion (e.g., CO2 reduction reaction, hydrogen evolution reaction, water-splitting reaction) systems, as well as design, synthesis, and characterization of advanced materials for energy-related applications.
