Two Dimensional Transition Metal Dichalcogenides

Narayanasamy Sabari Arul received his Ph.D. in Nanoscience and Technology from Bharathiar University, Tamil Nadu, India, following which he has worked as a visiting Ph.D. research fellow at Lunghwa University of Science and Technology, Taiwan and Brain-Korea (BK21) Postdoctoral Fellow at Hanyang University, Seoul, South Korea and Assistant Professor in Dongguk University-Seoul, South Korea. His research interests include synthesis of metal oxide nanocomposites and thin films, nanomaterials, quantum dots, perovskites and two-dimensional dichalcogenides for photocatalysts, photovoltaic cells, memory devices, supercapacitors, and electrochemical sensors. He has published more than 45 SCI journal articles and 20 papers in proceedings of international conferences and holds one US and Korean Patent. Dr. Arul also serves as a referee for various journals in Springer, Elsevier, Royal Society of Chemistry and Institute of Physics.V.D. Nithya received her Ph.D. in Physics from Bharathiar University, Tamil Nadu, India, and had completed her Masters from same University. Her research interests mainly focus on metal oxide nanostructures and their applications for energy storage devices with special emphasis on supercapacitors and Li-ion batteries. She has been the recipient of many awards and fellowships including the INSPIRE fellowship by the Department of Science and Technology, Government of India. She has presented her research work in many seminars and workshops and has published over 20 research papers in journals of international repute.
