Enjoyed writing this article for the @IUCr newsletter describing my experience at the #BCA2025 spring meeting. Thankful to the IUCr for the poster prize and BCA for the opportunity! https://t.co/tE9X3LMAUE
Visiting Research Fellowship (6-months) opportunity to work in battery materials research in the Grey Group, mainly for early career researchers currently based in Chile, Argentina or Brazil. This programme is funded by the Faraday Institution (FI). https://t.co/G4uP7jfzcv
Two days of excellent science and heartfelt memories (old and new). The Grey-hounds/friends coming together for this occasion is the direct testimonial of Clare’ unmatched guidance, contagious curiosity and dedication for the science. happy birthday Clare 🎉🎊🥳
After day1 of super exciting talks by eminent speakers, looking forward for the day2. It was a delight to hear impact Clare has made on everyone’s life at professional/personal level. Celebrating her accomplishments and contribution by sharing 1 thing she likes most ‘science’. 🎉
Our latest experiment was the cat's μ!
We just wrapped up in-/ex-situ μ-SR on EMU @isisneutronmuon ! We're looking into sodium dynamics in the phases which form when NaNiO2 is electrochemically cycled, and could even measure whilst dis/charging thanks to the BAM cell!
New YouTube clickbait thumbnail acquired! ✅ Oh, and data too. Lots and lots of data... We just wrapped up our latest BAG session at @DiamondLightSou I-11, where we measured operando SXRD during battery cycling. We're able to watch structures evolve in real time during charging!
New article out! Congratulations to the team led by Richard Chen for this intensive work revealing insights into the coating effect of NMC811, now in #EESJournal@FaradayInst@CATMAT_FI https://t.co/zoqPqXxH0K
The first paper from my PhD is now available @ChemRxiv!
We solve the structure of the first desodiated phase in NaxNiO2 (x=2/3) via X-ray and neutron diffraction, solid state NMR, and DFT/AIMD. Ni charge- and Na vacancy-ordering play an important role!

Yesterday night, we had our group Christmas Dinner, another occasion to cherish togetherness, success and memories. This year, finally, the Quiz winner trophy moved out of Clare's office 🥳🥳🎉🎊🎁🎅🎄@ChemCambridge happy holidays from us to you all.
Last week we visited GEM @isisneutronmuon for a very *cool* neutron diffraction experiment! (5 K to be specific...) We were able to observe additional magnetic Bragg peaks below the magnetic ordering temperature of our material! Huge thanks to our instrument scientists!
And it’s a wrap for us at #faraday2024 a @FaradayInst conference with last Keynote talk by Clare, poster prize for @VSedajova and best essay prize for JessicaMcConnell from @IntercalationSt 🎉🔋🔋we had 4 talks and 5 poster presentations from the group.
And my first postdoc PI Prof Vivek Polshettiwar @VPolshettiwar getting the most honoured award in science in India Vigyan Yuva- SS Bhatnagar award from PoI. 🎉👏🏽🎉
President Droupadi Murmu presents Vigyan Yuva- Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Awards to:
· Prof. Vivek Polshettiwar in Chemistry
· Prof. Vishal Rai in Chemistry
· Dr Roxy Mathew Koll in Earth Sciences
· Dr Abhilash in Engineering Sciences
President Droupadi Murmu presents Vigyan Shri Awards to:
· Dr Anandharamakrishnan C in Agricultural Sciences
· Dr Avesh Kumar Tyagi in Atomic Energy
· Prof. Umesh Varshney in Biological Sciences
· Prof. Jayant Bhalchandra Udgaonkar in Biological Sciences
Another exciting neutron experiment @isisneutronmuon! We carried out the first successful operando experiment using the electrochemical cell developed for POLARIS, on a sodium cathode! Enormous thanks to @PerezGE14 our amazing instrument scientist for endless support throughout!
Day2 of Grey group retreat: starting with a yoga session, followed by set of another science discussions and speed dating (in 2nd pic Clare and Bilge), a hike and at the end dinner in the pub!
We have a new 3-year funded PhD opportunity to work with myself and @SunitaDey16 on sustainable solid-state batteries @aberdeenuni. International applicants are very welcome. Please share! 🔋
