About

Advait joined the Crozier Research Group in Fall 2021 as PhD student. In his project, he is working on analyzing in situ Electron Microscopy datasets of Pt-Ceria nanoparticles.

He graduated with a combined B. Tech & M. Tech (dual degree) in Metallurgical and Materials Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Kharagpur, in Spring 2021. He also has a micro-specialization in ‘Electronic Materials and Applications’ from the Materials Science Center at IIT Kharagpur. In his bachelor’s, he worked on Li-ion and Na-ion batteries. He worked on layered and spinel oxides like NMC and LMO. Also, for Na-ion batteries,s he worked on symmetrical NASICON-based electrode materials. His B. Tech thesis work was published in the Journal of Alloys and Compounds (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jallcom.2020.156813). In his Master’s thesis, he worked on extracting transport properties by Classical MD simulations on different concentrations of LiTFSI salt dissolved in DME: DOL (1:1 volume ration) solvent.

He likes to cook and try new food dishes in his spare time.
