Vipin joined Professor Linda F. Nazar’s group at the University of Waterloo in September 2021 to pursue his PhD. His research focuses on investigating interfaces for the next generation solid-state batteries. As part of the “Mitacs Globalink Research” program offered by the Government of Canada, he completed his internship at the Justus Liebig University, Giessen, Germanywith Prof. Dr. Jürgen Janek. During this internship, he utilized spectroscopic techniques to analyze the interfaces of solid-state batteries. Vipin had access to wide range electro-analytical instruments in Giessen, allowing him to study the complexities of the solid-state batteries. His goal is to contribute to the betterment of communities and foster stronger relations between the University of Waterloo and JLU through his fulfilling research career.
