About

Dr. Bhuvanesh Srinivasan joined as an Assistant Professor of Metallurgical & Materials Engineering at IIT Madras on 13-June-2022. Before joining IIT Madras, he was a JSPS postdoctoral fellow (2019 - 2022) at the National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS), Tsukuba, Japan. At NIMS, he was hosted at the French-Japanese international platform, LINK, a joint research unit established in partnership between CNRS, Saint-Gobain, and NIMS. His research is focused on thermoelectric materials and devices for energy harvesting applications. Prior to his tenure at NIMS, he was a Marie-Curie Ph.D. fellow at the CNRS-University of Rennes 1, France (2015 - 2018). During his Ph.D., he carried out secondment periods of a few months at Nanoforce Technology Ltd., Queen Mary University of London, U.K. He pursued his Erasmus Mundus Master's program in Materials Science (2013 - 2015) jointly from the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and Ludwig Maximilian University (LMU), Munich, Germany. During his Erasmus Mundus Masters, he spent a couple of mobility/exchange periods at ETH-Zurich (3 months) and EPFL-Lausanne (6 months), Switzerland. He obtained his Bachelor of Engineering in Materials Scie...
