Dr. Nilesh R. Chodankar is currently working as a research scientist at the mechanical engineering department of Khalifa University, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates (UAE). He received his PhD in Physics from Shivaji University, Kolhapur, India, in 2016 and joined Chonnam National University, South Korea, as a Postdoctoral Researcher. After completing his postdoctoral tenure, he worked as an Assistant Professor at the energy and materials engineering department of Dongguk University, Seoul, South Korea. His research interests include engineering atomically thin 2D nanomaterials for energy storage devices, including supercapacitors and beyond Li-ion chemistry. He has worked on multidisciplinary research projects in materials science and engineering in the context of sustainable energy storage and conversion systems. He has genuinely contributed to the energy storage field, having published over 101 high-ranking peer-reviewed articles and garnered more than 6100 citations. His h-index is 42, and my i10-index is 81 (Google Scholar). He has maintained an active research agenda with regular publications in high-impact factor (IF) journals in the fields of chemistry, energy, and materials science: Chemical Society Review [IF:60.615], Energy and Environmental Science [IF:39.714], InfoMat [IF:24.798], Nano-Micro Letters [IF:23.655], Energy Storage Materials [IF:20.831], Nano Energy [IF:19.069], Small [IF:15.15], Journal of Materials Chemistry A [IF:14.511], and Chemical Engineering Journal [IF:16.744]. In addition, in his name, 2 Korean and 2 US patents have been filed on aqueous energy storage systems.
