⭐Summary

Dr. Sharma is currently a Postdoctoral Researcher (Jan 2024 – Dec 2025) at the Centre for Analysis and Synthesis, Lund University. This position is funded by the Wallenberg Initiative for Sustainable Energy (WISE). Her project focuses on the investigation of the formation dynamics of novel earth-abundant nickel phosphide catalysts using Environmental Transmission Electron Microscopy for CO2 capture and conversion.

🎓Educational Background

Dr. Sharma earned her PhD in Nanoelectronics and Nanotechnologies from the Atomic Energy and Alternative Energies Commission (CEA) in Grenoble, France (Sept 2019 – Dec 2022). Her thesis examined atomic-scale defects in two-dimensional materials using advanced transmission electron microscopy techniques. She also holds an Integrated Bachelor & Master of Engineering (B.Tech-M.Tech) in Nanotechnology from the Centre for Converging Technologies, University of Rajasthan, India (2011 – 2017), graduating with honors (70.60%).

💼 Research Experience

Prior to her current role, Dr. Sharma served as a Senior Research Fellow at the Department of Physics, Malaviya National Institute of Technology, Jaipur, India (Mar 2018 – Aug 2019), where she worked on the fabrication and modification of metal-fullerene nanocomposites for optical devices. She completed a Research Internship in the Department of Energy & Environment at the same institute (Aug 2017 – Mar 2018), focusing on the development of flexible supercapacitors for wearable electronics. Additionally, during her Graduate Research Internship at the Department of Biomedical Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology, Hyderabad, India (Apr 2016 – Oct 2016), she developed a targeted nano-drug delivery system for cancer treatment.
