Background

About Akash Rasal

I am a motivated engineer with good communication skills who is looking for fast-paced energy research groups where I can continue to work with others to improve and drive energy innovations. The years 2015–2016 marked the completion of my master’s degree in analytical chemistry from Shivaji University Kolhapur, India. Following graduation, I worked as a research trainee in the analytical and research development department, Microlab Limited, Bangalore. To keep going in school, I worked as a teaching assistant at the same institute. This gave me the chance to learn more about the subject and do research. In this role, I've been involved in the preparation of a wide range of nanomaterials for supercapacitors and lithium-ion batteries applications. The National Taiwan University of Science and Technology in Taiwan gave me a Ph.D. in chemical engineering in 2021. My primary focus in this position has been the development of efficient and stable quantum dot-sensitized solar cells. My Ph.D. thesis title is "Design and Fabrication of Green, Efficient, and Stable Quantum Dot-Sensitized Solar Cells Through Electrolyte Engineering.” Through these experiences, I've learned a lot about both upstream and downstream operations, which is very important in the fast-paced world of solar technology. I learned the fundamentals of the synthesis and application of 2D nanomaterials, and quantum dots for energy conversion and energy storage devices. I'm excited to bring together the ideas of operational excellence, science, and engineering to make solutions that are simple, bold, and have the most positive effect on society as a whole.
