About Ziyauddin

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 and hybrid supercapacitors.

Following three-year postdoc at UNIST, Ziyauddin joined the Laboratory of Organic Electronics to work with Prof. Xavier Crispin, in 2017, where his work focused on the development of highly concentrated polymer electrolyte for multivalent organic batteries. In 2020, he received research grant from ÅForsk foundation for the development of aqueous Zn ion batteries.

He is interested in fundamental and applied studies/research that relate to the development of multivalent organic batteries based on aqueous, non-aqueous and solid-state electrolytes. He is serving as an associate editor for "Frontiers in Nanotechnology" and guest editor for "Frontiers in Energy Research". He also served as a guest editor for a special issue in journal “Catalyst” published by MDPI in 2019-2020.
