Dr. Neelima Mahato

I have completed my doctoral research in Applied Chemistry at Indian Institute of Technology, BHU, India, in 2010. Worked as Post doc fellow at IIT-Kanpur for about three years in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering. In the year 2013, I joined at School of Chemical Engineering, Yeungnam University, Republic of Korea, as a Postdoctoral researcher, and in 2014, began my position as a Foreign Research Professor and continued at this position for 8 years. Currently working as a Postdoctoral researcher in the Energy Storage and Conversion Laboratory, Department of Electrical Engineering, Chungnam National University, Daejeon, Republic of Korea. My research interests include the development of nanostructured materials and characterization, fuel cells, waste management, bioactive phytochemicals, conductive polymers, graphene- based materials, applied electrochemistry, electroanalytical techniques, and development of materials for electrochemical energy storage. I have published more than 36 articles in peer-reviewed international journals, three book chapters and one Indian Patent. Currently I am actively exploring the structure-property relations in nanostructured materials for all solid-state supercapacitors.

Dr. Anujit Ghosal

An interdisciplinary researcher with strong background in chemistry. I consider myself equally oriented toward teaching as well as research. I have been engaged in the design and development of various functional nanomaterials and nanostructured polymeric materials for metallic surface protection application. My research interests include nano-biotechnology, analytical chemistry, electrochemical corrosion science, design & fabrication of nanostructured materials, nano-carries for delivery applications, and polymer chemistry. Established various research collaborator throughout the globe and love to have discussion over upcoming research avenues. As of now, I have more than 40 international publications, 03 Co-edited books, 02 Patents, and more than 10 book chapters.

At present I am working as a postdoctoral Fellow at The University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, Canada and my active research area includes the formulation of nano-emulsion using lipids and plant derived proteins for the delivery of bioactive molecules. I have previously worked as an assistant professor at Galgotia’s University (India) and Postdoc fellow at Beijing Institute of Technology (PRC), Jawaharlal Nehru University (India), &Dalhousie University (Canada).
