Dr. Homi Bhabha Road, Pashan, PUNE 411021.

Dr. Poulomi Roy received her M.Sc. degree in Chemistry from Vidyasagar University, India in 2002 and obtained her PhD on Inorganic Nanomaterials from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur, India in 2007. She spent 2008-2011 at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg, Germany as a postdoctoral research fellow, where she worked on the development of self-organized TiO2-based nanostructures and their various applications. She has spent 5 years working as an Assistant Professor at Birla Institute of Technology Mesra, India followed by 7 years of service as Senior Scientist and Principal Scientist at CSIR–CMERI, Durgapur and established her independent research career. Currently, she is working as Principal Scientist at CSIR - NCL, Pune. Her current research interests include the synthesis of semiconductor nanomaterials, electrocatalysts and their applications in energy conversion and storage devices. One of her active research works is focused on green H2 production using freshwater, wastewater and seawater covering fundamental to industrial implementations.
