Biography of Authors

Dr. Chandrasekaran, Sundaram
Dr. Chandrasekaran, Sundaram born in May 1984, Theni, Tamilnadu, India. Dr. Chandrasekaran received his B.S. degree in 2004 and M.S degree in 2006 in Physics/Materials Science from Madurai Kamaraj University, Tamilnadu, India. He received his Ph.D degree in 2013 from Gandhigram Rural University, Gandhigram, Tamilnadu, India. In 2013, he joined Korea University, Seoul, South Korea as a Research Professor and later he worked as a Post-doctoral researcher at the University of Ulsan, Ulsan, South Korea from Feb, 2014 to Feb, 2018. Later, from March 2018 to March 2020, Dr. Sundaram Chandrasekaran worked as a High Talent Post-Doctoral Research fellow at Shenzhen University, Shenzhen, China. Since, June 2020 untill now, he is working as an Associate Professor at College of Chemistry and Biological Engineering, Guilin University of Technology, Guilin, Republic of China.
His research interests focus on the synthesis and applications of nanostructured inorganic materials, graphene, other 2D materials, upconversion materials, and high performance low-dimensional semiconducting nanomaterials, and on the development of new energy materials for electrocatalytic applications such as HER, ORR/OER, photocatalytic, photoelectrochemical water splitting and energy storage.
His most research papers were published in well recognized peer-reviewed international journals, such as Chem. Soc. Rev.Physics Reports, Nano Energy, Journal of Materials Chemistry A, Chem Sus Chem, Chemical Engineering Journal, Journal of Power sources, Sensors and Actuators B, RSC-Advances, Solar Energy Materialsand Solar cells, Materials Letters, Crystal Research Technologyetc, that have granted him with national and international recognition in the fields of digestive materials science and energy harvesting.
