Workshop India

It’s our great pleasure to inform that as a part of BioLogic’s initiations on knowledge transfer to industries & academic customers involved in Energy studies, we are coming up with a workshop on Prospects for Li-ion Batteries and Emerging Electrochemical Energy Systems conducted on the 29th & 30th of July 2024. In Collaboration with ECS-IIT Madras Students Chapter & PSG Institute of Technology-Coimbatore.

The concept of a combined academic + industrial workshop is generated after receiving high demand from candidates from both Industry & Academic who were attending BioLogic’s free routine webinar. This 2-day workshop is not only expected to address the routine questions of these sectors but to provide a platform where both the adamic & industry R&D communities can meet & share the latest happenings of Energy studies. Being a top-class manufacturer of electrochemistry systems, BioLogic believes this as one of the best ways of bridging Academic to Industry with Indian conditions.

This 2-Day Workshop will include theory sessions conducted by India’s most known scientists in the field of Electrochemistry:

• Kothandaraman Ramanujan (IIT Madras)
• Vijayamohanan K Pillai (IISER Thirupati)
• Muhammed Musthafa (IISER Pune)
• Poulomi Roy (CSIR – CMER Durgapur)

Along with a hands-on dedicated techniques related to the above topic. The candidates will have the opportunity to do hands on with our Essential, Premium Potentiostats as well as latest BCS-900 Series battery Cyclers. BioLogic is in discussion with different Major Institutes & Industries to conduct the similar workshops at different part of India.

From BioLogic Mr. Sentilkumar (National Sales Manager), Dr. Aashish (Application Specialist), Dr. Merlin (Regional Sales Manager-South), Mr. Pradeep (Regional Sales Manager- Southwest) will be available at the venue to address your questions related to BioLogic products, techniques & services we offer.

He has experience (20 years) in materials electrochemistry, fuel cells, investigating new catalyst materials, membranes, optimization of electrode structures and test procedures for several fuel cell types, batteries and ultracapacitors.
  He has received many honors and awards including: MRSI Medal, Materials Research Society of India, Bangalore, 1996, Chemical Research Society of India, (CRSI) Bronze Medal, in 2004. He is a Member of the Editorial board of Bulletin of Materials Science, 2005

• Prof. Kothandaraman Ramanujan (IIT Madras), who is leading this event, is known for his expertise as a leading electrochemist in the country, and his research focus is on India–centric solutions for the ever-growing need for energy storage and conversion.  He is actively contributing to the promotion of electrochemistry in India, steering the Electrochemical Society (ECS-New Jersey)-IIT Madras Student Chapter to conduct various workshops in different parts of India. ECS-IITM Student Chapter was recognized as the Chapter of Excellence in 2023 by ECS-New Jersey.
  He has achieved different Honors and Recognitions including: IESA Researcher of the Year Award (2024) for Academic Category from Indian Energy Storage Alliance; Bronze medal, Chemical Research Society of India (2023); Bronze Medal -Society of Materials Chemistry (SMC-BARC) (2023); Recipient of “TREND SETTER GRANT AWARD-2023” from the Energy Consortium, IIT Madras. He is a currently the vice president of the Society for Advancement of Electrochemical Science and Technology Karaikudi and the Indian Society for Electroanalytical Chemistry (ISEAC)

• Dr. Muhammed Musthafa (IISER Pune) is a leading young scientist from the western part of India (IISER Pune), he explored bi-functional mechanism and metal-support interactions in fuel cell electrocatalysis by electrochemical FTIR. Then he moved to the University of St. Andrews, Scotland (United Kingdom) where he mainly investigated the stability of cathode materials in aprotic Li-air batteries by differential electrochemical mass spectrometry (DEMS).
• Dr. Poulomi Roy is a Senior Scientist at CSIR – Central Mechanical Engineering Research Institute. Before joining CSIR – CMERI, she was working as an Assistant Professor at Birla Institute of Technology Mesra for more than 5 years. Dr. Roy is a Fulbright Fellow under Fulbright-Nehru Academic and Professional Excellence Award 2016-17 and visited University of Wisconsin – Madison, USA.
  Her research interests include the development of nanomaterials based on metal oxides, chalcogenides and hybrid materials for their applications in energy conversion to storage devices, including photocatalysis, electrocatalysis, water splitting, dye-sensitized solar cells, supercapacitors, batteries etc.
