Dr. Vipin Kumar is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Energy Science and Engineering (DESE) at the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi (IIT Delhi), India. He is the coordinator of a virtual interdisciplinary school, i.e., the School of Interdisciplinary Research (SIRe) at IIT Delhi. He received his doctoral and master’s degrees from Nanyang Technological University Singapore (NTU Singapore) and IIT Delhi in 2016 and 2011. He worked with the Institute of Materials Research and Engineering (IMRE), Agency for Science, Technology, and Research (A*STAR), Singapore, to develop high-energy metal-sulfur batteries. His research focuses on electrochemical energy storage devices, such as room-temperature metal-sulfur batteries (e.g., Na-S, Li-S, Al-S, and Mg-S). Most of his studies were devoted to energy-related projects. He has received several prestigious awards, including the “Inspire Faculty Award” offered by the Department of Science and Technology, India, in 2017. Since May 2020, he has been working as an Assistant Professor at the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi (IIT Delhi), India, and running his battery research group (Advanced Batteries Research Laboratory) in the Department of Energy Science and Engineering, IIT Delhi. His group currently focuses on exploring the fundamental and applied aspects of metal-sulfur batteries.
