I am Senthilkumar Sirugaloor Thangavel, a Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Sharjah's Center for Advanced Materials Research (CAMR), where my primary research focus is on developing post-Li-ion battery systems. Specifically, I specialize in Supercapacitors, Seawater batteries, Hybrid electrolyte batteries, and advanced Redox flow batteries.

Engaging in hands-on experimentation is my preferred method of learning!!

The secret of being a successful scientist is an opportunity, the freedom to choose how to take advantage of an opportunity, enjoyment of hard work, and the ability to know that most problems are solved by sharing our contribution. We are beholden to all those who give us the intellectual and/or financial support to engage in our scientific investigations. We must be secure enough in ourselves to share ideas and credit.    - Prof. Goodenough
