We warmly welcome Associate Professor Deepak Dubal to join us as an Guest Professor in the Fiber Science and Communication Network at Mid Sweden University.

Deepak Dubal

He is a researcher in the field of multifunctional materials for energy storage technologies with a particular focus on supercapacitors, lithium ion batteries, and electrochemical flow cells. His research is also focused on recycling of Li-ion batteries and transformation of organic wastes (agricultural and industrial) into value-added materials.  

Dr Dubal will contribute to Mid Sweden University research within supercapacitors and batteries. Dr Dubal will thus contribute to our research in energy storage, which involves a number of companies with interest in energy materials such as graphite, graphene, silicon powder, cellulose, paper, separator materials, and coating technology. Right now, he is working remotely due to the corona pandemic. 

Dr Deepak Dubal is Associate Professor in the School of Chemistry and Physics at Queensland University of Technology (QUT), Australia. He received his PhD in Physics from Shivaji University, Kolhapur, India in 2011. He is a prolific, well-cited and multiple-award-winning scientist. His achievements are honoured by several prestigious fellowships such as Brain Korea-21 (Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology (GIST), South Korea-2011), Alexander von Humboldt Fellow (Chemnitz University of Technology (TUC), Germany-2012), Marie Curie Fellow (Catalan Institute of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (ICN2), Spain-2014) and Vice chancellor Fellow (University of Adelaide, Australia-2017). In 2018, he won an exceptionally competitive Australian Research Council (ARC) Future Fellowship.

His achievements over 9 active career years are highlighted by over 180 high-quality articles, H-index of 56, with over 11,000 (>8,000 since 2016) citations (Google Scholar). He is also elected as Foreign Young Associate of Maharashtra Academy of Sciences (FMASc) and member of Royal Australian Chemical Institute. He has established the “Energy Conversion and Storage (ECS)” research Group in 2019, which now comprises 2 post-doctoral fellows, 6 PhD students, and several Masters/Honour students. As the Chief Investigator (CI) on various projects, he has been successful in attracting research funding to the value of around 2.1 million Australian Dollars.

He is an Editorial board member of several prestigious journals including Scientific Reports (Nature Publishing Group), associate editor of ES Energy & Environment (EE), Engineered Science and Sustainability (MDPI).
