Ziyauddin earned his PhD in Chemistry from the department of chemistry at Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Guwahati, India, in 2013 on topic hydrogen generation by semiconductor photocatalysis. After, a short period of visiting postdoc at Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR), Mumbai, he joined as postdoctoral research associate at Ulsan National Institute of Science & Technology (UNIST), Republic of Korea in early 2014. At UNIST, he worked in the areas of hybrid Na-air batteries, seawater batteries, and hybrid supercapacitors.
Following three-year postdoc at UNIST, Ziyauddin joined the Laboratory of Organic Electronics in 2017 where his work focused on the development of highly concentrated electrolyte for multivalent organic batteries. He is interested in fundamental and applied studies/ research that relate to the development of sustainable batteries based on aqueous, non-aqueous and solid-state electrolytes. He is recipient of J. Gust. Richert foundation (2024), Swedish Electricity Storage and Balancing Center (2023), Åforsk foundation (2021) projects grants as PI and J. Gust. Richert foundation (2025), Carl Tryggers foundation (2024), Anders Hultmans foundation (2024) and STINIT (2023) projects grants as co-PI. He was involved in getting grant from LiU Uppdragsutbildning to develop a battery course for professionals.
Currently, he is serving as early career researchers editorial board of "Energy & Environmental Materials" journal published by Wiley and acting as editorial board member of "Materials Research Express" published by IOP Science. He also served as an associate editor for "Frontiers in Nanotechnology" as guest editor for "Frontiers in Energy Research" and as a guest editor for a special issue in journal “Catalyst” published by MDPI in 2019-2020.
