Dr. Subrata Ghosh is an early-stage researcher in materials for energy applications. With a PhD and over 5 years of postdoctoral experience in nanomaterial design, he is passionate about understanding how nanomaterials architect themselves and exploring their structure–property–performance relationship. He has a strong background in electrochemical energy storage, wastewater treatment, and electrothermal applications. He received a bachelor’s degree at Vidyasagar University in 2007 and a master’s degree in physics at the Presidency College (University of Calcutta) in 2010. For his doctoral thesis, “Vertical Graphene Nanosheets: Growth, Structure and Electrochemical Performances,” he received a Ph.D. in physical sciences from the Homi Bhabha National Institute, India, in 2016. Thereafter, he gained postdoctoral experience under Prof. Mathews at the Indira Gandhi Centre for Atomic Research (2016–2017), Prof. Jeong at Chungbuk National University, the Republic of Korea (2017–2018), and Dr. Barg at the University of Manchester, United Kingdom (2019–2021). He also worked as a Seal of Excellence Postdoctoral Fellow for MSCA-Horizon 2020 under the European Commission at the Politecnico di Milano (2021–2022). He is currently continuing his research journey as a Marie Sklodowska-Curie Fellow with Prof. Casari at the Politecnico di Milano (2022–present).
Dr. Wenjie Li received his Ph.D. in materials science and engineering from Technische Universität Darmstadt, Germany, in 2015. From 2016 to 2018, he worked as a postdoctoral fellow at Virginia Tech’s Center for Energy Harvesting Materials and Systems. He is currently an assistant research professor in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at Pennsylvania State University. He has published more than 60 peer-reviewed papers and book chapters. His current research interests focus on sustainable and renewable energy materials and devices, including thermoelectric materials and devices/modules, hydrogen storage materials, elastocaloric materials and devices, high-entropy refractory alloys, and ceramics/alloy processing.
