Dr. Prangya P. Sahoo is a Senior Research Scientist at the Centre for Advanced Materials Application (CEMEA), Slovak Academy of Sciences. She earned her Ph.D. from the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, and pursued postdoctoral research at North Carolina State University (USA), the University of Liverpool (UK), and the University of Oslo (Norway). Her research focuses on advanced materials for energy storage, particularly Li-ion and Na-ion batteries enhanced by atomic layer deposition (ALD). She has authored 23 Web of Science–indexed publications with over 500 citations (h-index = 11). At CEMEA, she has been instrumental in establishing Li-ion and Na-ion battery research and has contributed to several national and EU-funded projects, including FULL-MAP, SusHiBatt, and ANGeLiC. She was the 1st Runner-Up of the 2023 L’Oréal–UNESCO For Women in Science Slovakia (Engineering Sciences) for her project “Better Batteries: ALD for Improved Properties of Li-ion Battery Electrodes.” Her honors include fellowships from France, India, and Slovakia, and she holds the Level II Researcher distinction from SAS. Dr. Sahoo’s work advances sustainable energy storage through nanoscale interface engineering and international collaboration.
