Biography
Rajib Paul has extensive expertise in carbon material synthesis, fabrication and rational designing for efficient energy storage and conversion applications. He has developed a facile microwave radiation assisted functionalization technique for carbon based 3D porous structures. He is pioneered in nano-structuring of carbon surface through various plasma induced and thermal CVD methods. His additional research interest is related to thermal and mechanical properties evaluation in 3D hierarchical carbon structures. The foundation is based on understanding the junctional interfaces in 3D hierarchical carbon materials which play crucial roles in dictating transport and catalytic properties. He has demonstrated that the surface morphology, surface active states, and availability of carbon lattice edges evaluate the overall properties in 3D carbon structures.
