Special Opportunities:	People working on this project could have their names on journal and conference publications in addition to the Aggie Research certificate. This will be a tremendous boost to their career in research or academia
Team Needs:	Highly dedicated and committed group of individuals willing to work for pushing the boundaries of innovation. The work requires a good deal of scientific literature search and writing. So people having experience in that, prior research experience or willing to take up such a challenge will be preferred. Some familiarity with electrochemical experiments, electrochemistry, batteries, supercapacitors, and other electronics is preferred. Prior background and experience in experimental or modeling research and journal/conference publications will be preferred but not mandatory. Individual should be highly disciplined, willing to work with team, flexible in switching assignments, good with communication and adhere to lab safety rules and practices.
Description:	With the impending need for enhancing energy storage and conservation capabilities to meet the imminent demands of the coming decades, through applications such as electric vehicles, advanced batteries, and supercapacitors, it is necessary to find innovative and sustainable solutions. This project will deal with the design and fabrication of next-generation flexible electronic devices such as supercapacitors and batteries. Our lab works on cutting edge technology and has a good deal of expertise in fabricating such devices and producing new solutions. Going ahead, we look to test and perfect the newly developed solutions and also devise potential new ones.
