Dr. Amol S. Vedpathak is currently associated with the Symbiosis Centre for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (SCNN) of the Symbiosis International University (SIU), Deemed University, Pune, India, as Post-Doctoral Research Fellow - 2024. Dr. Amol has completed his M. Phil in Physics from the Department of Physics, Savitribai Phule Pune University, Pune with specialization in Vacuum Technology. He pursued his Ph.D in Material Science and Energy Storage from the Department of Physics, MES Abasaheb Garware College, Pune. His research interest devoted to design and fabrication of advanced 1D and layered metal-oxide nanostructures for energy applications particularly for solid state supercapacitors and metal ion batteries. He also concentrates on the development of nano-hetero-architectures and core-shell carbon-based nanostructures for the fabrication of energy conversion/storage and gas sensors devices.

Dr. Varnitha M is currently associated with the Symbiosis Centre for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (SCNN) of the Symbiosis International University (SIU), Deemed University, Pune, India, as a Post-Doctoral Research Fellow – 2024. She pursued her doctorate at the Karunya Institute of Technology and Sciences focusing on developing praseodymium-containing nanoparticles for controlled anticancer drug release. She also received specialized training in in vitro assays at the National Centre for Biological Sciences in Bangalore. Her research experience is extensive, encompassing the synthesis of nanoparticles composed of various oxides, ferrites, and sulfides, each with unique shapes. Additionally, she has expertise in creating β-cyclodextrin-based polymers. Dr. Varnitha's research was further supported by an I-STEM catalytic grant, which facilitated her studies involving Swiss albino female mice. Dr. Varnitha has collaborated with several premier institutions, contributing to her research projects.
