Venkataraman Thangadurai PhD, FRSC (UK), FECS, FHWK, FRSC is an esteemed scientist and researcher known for his contributions to the field of Solid State Ionics and Solid State Chemistry.[1] He is a Professor and Research Excellence Chair at the University of Calgary in the Department of Chemistry.[2][3] He’s also the Founder and director of Western Canada Battery Consortium (WCBC) and Associate Director of Calgary Advanced Energy Storage and Conversion Research (CAESR). He acts as the Vice-Chair of the Canada Section Electrochemical Society (ECS) and Associate Editor of ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces. He is a fellow of The Electrochemical Society (USA), Royal Society of Chemistry (UK), and Royal Society of Canada and in the Editorial Advisory Board Journal of Solid State Electrochemistry, Chemistry of Materials, Energy Technology, Journal of Materials Chemistry A, Materials Advances, and International Journal of Ionics. Thangadurai’s over 30 years of experience in solid-state chemistry is showcased by his >250 international publications and 13 patent applications.[4]
Early Life and Education
Born in India, Thangadurai developed an early interest in Chemistry and pursued his academic career with a focus on solid-state chemistry. He obtained his Bachelor’s degree in Chemistry from Sacred Heart College, Tirupattur, Tamil Nadu, and his Master’s degree from Muthurangam Government Arts College, Vellore, Tamil Nadu, affiliated with the University of Madras, Chennai, India in 1989 and 1991, respectively. He later went on to earn his Ph.D. in Solid State Chemistry from the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore India, in 1999. He did his postdoc at the Faculty of Engineering, University of Kiel, Germany. He received a prestigious PDF fellowship from the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation, Bonn, Germany.[5] In 2004, Thangadurai received his Habilitation degree from the University of Kiel.
Career and Research
Thangadurai's research primarily revolves around the development of novel materials for energy storage and conversion applications, with particular emphasis on solid oxide fuel cells, batteries, and gas separation membranes. His work has significantly contributed to the understanding of ion transport mechanisms in various solid electrolytes and has led to the development of high-performance materials for energy-related applications.[6] He is a pioneer in the development of Li-based garnets for all-solid-state Lithium metal batteries. Throughout his career, he has published numerous research papers in reputable scientific journals and has received several accolades and awards for his contributions to the field.[7] [8]Thangadurai is also actively involved in collaborative research projects with leading industrial partners and research institutions, aiming to translate fundamental research into practical applications.[9][10] He is the co-founder of Ion Storage Systems and Superionics Inc.[11]
