She completed her PhD in Nov. 2019 at the Malaviya National Institute of Technology (MNIT) Jaipur, India (with close collaboration to Hiroshima University, Japan), titled “Bi and its chalcogenides for all solid state Li-ion batteries” under the supervision of Dr Manoj Kumar.

Following this she joined the University of Birmingham, as a Research Fellow on FI project focused on in-situ/operando battery characterisation techniques for Li-ion batteries with Dr Melanie Britton. In this role, she did develop in-situ NMR and operando MRI techniques for Li-ion battery (half and full cell). In Sep 2021, she began her current role at the University of Sheffield as a PDRA in the Faraday Institution NEXGENNA project, where she is developing novel synthesis route for titanates based material that she is using as an anode for Na-ion batteries.
