Dr. Debananda Mohapatra received his Ph.D. degree in Materials Science and Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (IIT Bombay), Mumbai, India, in 2017. Soon after his Ph.D., he joined as Research Scientist (2017-2018) in Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR), Mumbai, India. He is currently working as Assistant Professor at the School of Chemical Engineering, Yeungnam University, South Korea. His current research interests are novel carbon nano-onion (CNO), heteroatoms engineered CNO, MXene heterostructures with binary/ternary (metal oxides, metal sulfides), MOF, and LDH for future clean energy conversion, storage technology, and environmental sensing. He already participated in several national and international conferences with more than 20 high-impact factor internationally peer-reviewed SCI publications. His novel functional materials’ idea was awarded a Basic Research Project Grant by the Ministry of Science and ICT (MSIT), National Research Foundation (NRF) of the Republic of Korea.
