Dr. Vishwanath R S earned his PhD in Chemical Science at the Institute of Physical Chemistry, Polish Academy of Sciences, Poland, where he was supported by a PhD scholarship from the National Science Centre (Govt. of Poland), Doctoral Scholarship by the Institute of Physical Chemistry, Polish Academy of Sciences, Poland, and Secondment opportunity from Department of Applied Chemistry, Chuo University, Tokyo, Japan. His PhD research has been recognized with honours, including an outstanding PhD student award and the First Poster award in the 9th International Workshop on Surface Modification for Chemical and Biochemical Sensing’ held in November 2019 in Poland. He joined the Centre for Research in Functional Materials (CRFM), JAIN (Deemed-to-be University), in March 2023 as an assistant professor. Before joining CRFM, he was a postdoctoral fellow at the Department of Chemical Sciences, Ariel University, Israel, supported by the Ariel University International Postdoctoral Fellowship. He investigates new functional materials for electrochemical applications. The emphasis is on sustainable electrochemical energy conversion and storage methods (photo/electrochemical water splitting, supercapacitor, and battery studies), electrochemistry at liquid–liquid interfaces (three-phase, thin-film, and four-electrode configurations), and retrieving energy with water treatment (capacitive/battery desalination).
