Dr. Pardha Saradhi Maram is working as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemistry, SRM University-AP Amaravati.
Prior to joining SRM University, Amaravati, he held numerous academic and industrial positions where he gained the much-needed expertise to establish an academic career in India. He was at the University of California Davis, USA (Sept 2010 to Jun 2015 & May 2016 to July 2018) and a group leader in Clean Diesel Technology Inc., a catalyst industry located in Los Angeles (Jul 2015 to April 2016). He received his M.Sc. degree in Chemistry from the Andhra University, India in 2004. He then completed his Ph.D. from the Chemistry Department, Indian Institute of Technology Madras (2004 to 2010).
His area of research emphasizes current global needs associated with Energy storage/conversion and Environment protection by exploring the structural and thermodynamic factors governing their physical properties and thereby designing efficient and advanced functional metal oxides. His main focus will be on development and thermochemical studies of functional metal oxides related to (i) Emission control catalysts, (ii) Battery electrode materials, (iii) Solid ionic conductors and (iv) Ultra high-temperature ceramics for aerospace application. The experimental thermochemical parameters are measured using state-of-the-art high temperature solution calorimeters. These parameters will help in formulating new chemistries/materials by understanding the stability, compatibility and the factors governing the performance enhancement.
