• Postdoctoral Research Associate

Dr. Aniruddha Mondal is a materials chemist specializing in nanostructured oxides, carbon-based composites, and metal–semiconductor hybrid systems for sustainable energy conversion, storage, and environmental remediation. In October 2025, he joined Daegu University, Republic of Korea, as a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Nano Electrochemistry Laboratory (NECL), where his research focuses on developing advanced electrocatalysts for nitrogen reduction and sustainable energy applications.

He earned his Ph.D. in Chemistry (2018) from the CSIR–Central Salt and Marine Chemicals Research Institute (CSIR-CSMCRI), Bhavnagar, India, where he designed and synthesized multifunctional nanomaterials for photocatalysis, electrocatalysis, and energy storage. Following his doctorate, he conducted postdoctoral research at Tatung University (May 2019 – November 2020, Taipei, Taiwan) and Luleå University of Technology (January 2021 – December 2022, Sweden), developing advanced nanostructured catalysts for hydrogen evolution, oxygen evolution, and supercapacitor systems under the mentorship of Prof. Jeng-Yu Lin and Prof. Alberto Vomiero.

Before joining Daegu University, Dr. Mondal served as an Adjunct Research Professor at Chitkara University, Punjab (2024 – 2025) and as Group Leader at Animesh Recycling Pvt. Ltd., Nagpur (2023 – 2025), leading projects on metal recovery from spent lithium-ion batteries and next-generation electrode materials.

He has authored over 60 peer-reviewed journal articles, book chapters, and patents, with an h-index of 27 and more than 3,000 citations. His interdisciplinary research integrates electrocatalysis, photocatalysis, and hydrometallurgical recycling toward circular-economy-driven materials innovation. He has been recognized with several distinctions, including the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) Seal of Excellence (2024) and the Young Scientist Award (ICIASTSF-2022).

With deep expertise in electrochemical analysis, in-situ characterization, and scalable nanomaterial synthesis, Dr. Mondal continues to advance the field of green materials chemistry and sustainable energy technologies through international collaboration and translational research.
