Hello! I'm Rachel
I'm a paragraph. Click here to add your own text and edit me. It’s easy. Just click “Edit Text” or double click me to add your own content and make changes to the font. I’m a great place for you to tell a story and let your users know a little more about you.
I'm currently pursuing my PhD at IIT Indore in the Dept. of Mechanical Engineering under the guidance of Dr. Shailesh I. Kundalwal. I am working in the field of modelling of solid-state hydrogen storage systems. Currently, I'm working to develop a scaled-up solid-state hydrogen (H2) storage system utilizing the carbon based nanomaterials. My expertise includes atomistic modelling, synthesis of nanomaterials, finite element analysis, data analysis and interpretation, and the development and implementation of research tools for experimental investigations. My current goal is to utilize the excellent chemical and physical properties of carbon nanotubes (CNT) and their hierarchical composites for their applications in the field of hydrogen storage and fuel cell technologies.
