Background

About Vedant Bhatt

With a solid interdisciplinary background in mechanical, chemical, and energy engineering, I am deeply motivated to contribute to the development of sustainable electrochemical technologies. Currently pursuing a Master’s in Chemical and Energy Engineering at Otto-von-Guericke University Magdeburg, my academic and research journey is centered on the field of electrochemistry, with a particular focus on electrodeposition and CO₂ electroreduction. My master’s thesis investigates electrochemical 3D bi-coatings on gas diffusion layers (GDLs) and their performance in a semi-batch electrochemical cell — a project that merges materials science, surface engineering, and electrochemical analysis. Through this work, I will gain hands-on experience with techniques like cyclic voltammetry, chronoamperometry, and chronopotentiometry, as well as gas analysis methods such as gas chromatography. Beyond my current research, I am eager to build a career at the intersection of electrode fabrication, electrocatalysis, and sustainable energy systems. I am particularly interested in the development of advanced electrochemical processes for CO₂ utilization, green hydrogen production, and next-generation energy storage. My earlier foundation in mechanical engineering and practical exposure to CAD tools (CATIA, SolidWorks, AutoCAD), CFD modeling (OpenFOAM), and MATLAB complement my experimental capabilities. I have also worked on cross-functional projects involving rapid prototyping and process automation, which enhanced my project management and problem-solving skills. I am committed to continuing on this path — contributing to low-carbon technologies and electrochemical innovation through research, development, and collaboration.
