Hi there! I’m Dr.Alagarraja, a Scientist driving innovations in Energy & Electrochemistry.

Welcome! I’m Dr.Alagarraja, Scientist & Assistant Professor (AcSIR) at CSIR-CECRI, specializing in Energy and Electrochemistry (EEG). My research centers on developing sustainable, low-cost recycling technologies for spent lithium-ion batteries and e-waste materials, transforming them into high-performance materials for batteries and supercapacitors. With a Ph.D. in Chemistry focused on lithium-ion battery recycling, I am passionate about creating greener, economically viable pathways for energy storage materials. Through my work, I aim to contribute to an energy-efficient, circular, and environmentally responsible future. I actively collaborate with researchers, industry partners, and students working in battery recycling, electrochemistry, and advanced energy storage. Feel free to connect if you’d like to explore research opportunities or collaborations.

We have open position
