Dr. Praveen Kumar is manager of advanced electron microscopy lab at the Colorado School of Mines, Golden, US. Dr. Kumar received his master's degree in Solid State Materials from Indian Institute of Technology Delhi, India, in 2013, and Ph.D. degree in Physics from the University of Tübingen, Germany, in 2018. After his Ph.D, he joined as a postdoctoral researcher from April 2018−2020 at CEA Grenoble, France, where he worked on the aberration corrected microscopes to investigate the structural characterization and aging mechanisms of Silicon-based anode materials for improved lithium-ion batteries within the framework of European Horizon 2020 Sintbat Project. From August 2020-2022, he was a research fellow in the school of Mathematics and Physics, Queen’s University Belfast, UK. His research interests include structure-property correlation of wide range of functional materials by employing various Advanced Electron microscopy techniques such as S/TEM, SEM, X-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), and Electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS). He has an active interest in reviewing scientific articles and has received more than 30 manuscripts from reputed journals, for instance, Solar energy materials & solar cells, Journal of alloys & compounds, ACS applied materials & interfaces, Materials Chemistry &Physics, Superlattice & Microstructures and others. Also, he has been serving as an assistant supervisor (Volunteer role) to guide phd students in Dr Miryam group, UK.
