Nivedita Sikdar

Assistant Professor

Education

Ph. D.

Dr. Sikdar received her PhD degree in Materials Science from Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research (JNCASR), India. She has received Alexander von Humboldt (AvH) postdoctoral fellowship from Ruhr University Bochum, Germany (2019-2020). She also worked as postdoctoral fellow in University of Limerick, Ireland prior to this (2018). Her research interest mainly involves in-depth understanding of materials for electrochemical energy conversion reactions.
