About me

My self Dr. Syam Kandula. I have secured the Korean Research Fellowship (KRF) and working as a KRF Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Korea Institute of Science and Technology, Seoul. My research work is focusing on understanding of charge storage mechanism on various exposed facets using in-situ techniques. I carried out my second Postdoctoral Research at The University of Texas at Austin. I carried out my first postdoctoral research at Chonbuk National University, South Korea. My area of interest is energy conversion and energy storage using metal oxide/sulfide/phosphide with carbon derivatives and transition metal dichalcogenide core@shell, yolk@shell and multishell heteronanostructured materials. I have completed a Ph.D. in the Department of Chemistry, Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee under the supervision of Prof. P. Jeevanandam and my thesis entitled "Synthesis of core-shell nanoparticles and studies on their properties and applications". I have published thirteen international papers and one book chapter; they have attracted a good number of citations. I have completed M.Sc. in Modern Methods of Chemical Analysis in the Department of Chemistry, National Institute of Technology Warangal. I have achieved 9.1 CGPA during my Master's degree. I have completed B.Sc (Maths, Physics, Chemistry) at Acharya Nagarjuna University, Nagarjuna Nagar and I have secured 88.7 %.

Education

Research Interests

Core@shell, Yolk@shell and Multi-shell nanomaterials

I am interested to make various metal oxide/sulfide/phosphide with carbon derivatives and transition metal dichalcogenides via chemical and physical routes.

2011 - 2016

Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee

I have completed Ph.D. during this period under the supervision of Dr. P. Jeevanandam. I have published seven international papers during this period.

Photocatalysis

I am interested in various photocatalytic active heteronanostructured materials for water splitting, carbon dioxide reduction and dye degradation.

Energy storage

I am actively looking for various inorganic materials for energy storage, especially for hybrid supercapacitors and batteries.

Size and shape dependent magnetism

I am also working on different shaped and sized inorganic materials and studies on their magnetic properties.

2008 - 2010

National Institute of Technology Warangal

I have completed M.Sc. (Modern Methods of Chemical Analysis) during this period and I have carried out three project works with 9.1 CGPA.

2005 - 2008

Acharya Nagarjuna University

I have completed B.Sc. (Maths, Physics and Chemistry) during this period and I have secured 88.7 %.
