Research Highlights
I am extensively working on designing and enhancing the conversion efficiency of thermoelectric materials by analyzing material properties using Computation Simulation techniques. I am also collaborating with experimentalists to help in gaining insights into their experimental measurements.
In this research work, decoupling the interdependence of electronic and thermal transport has been achieved by utilizing different cationic sites present in cubic spinel oxides. Electronic transport is influenced by the tetrahedrally coordinated atomic sites, whereas thermal transport is by the octahedrally coordinated atomic sites. Making use of this insight, CdCo2O4 material is proposed to have significantly high thermoelectric performance.
