About the Faculty

 
Dr. Kiran Vankayala is Assistant Professor at the Department of Chemistry, BITS Pilani, K K Birla Goa campus since March 2019.  
 
Dr. Kiran obtained his PhD degree at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bengaluru, India under the supervision of Prof. S. Sampath. His PhD work was on the exploration of electrical and electrochemical aspects of titanium carbide nanostrucutres. He had demonstrated experience in electronic device fabrication using standard lithography techniques as well as assembling polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells.
As part of research associate stint at Indian institute of science in the same group, he has worked on the preparation and electrocatalytic studies of ultrathin few layer transition metal dichalcogenides/alloys.
 
He then moved to the Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel to work under the mentorship of Prof. Ron Naaman where he worked on the studies related to spin dependant electron transport through chiral organic molecules.
 
Later on he moved to University College London (UCL) as a post-doctoral research associate where he was involved in the development of novel and efficient photocatalysts for Z-scheme water splitting in the research group of Prof. Junwang Tang.

Research Interests

FunMatES

Functional Materials for Electrochemistry and Solar Energy
Our group main focus is on the development of novel functional materials for energy related applications. A variety of electrochemical, spectroscopic and microscopic techniques will be used to understand the interfacial (electro)catalyst/solution interface) processes.  
 
Research Interests
  • Nanomaterials for electrochemical energy storage and generation
  • (Hybrid) Water splitting
  • Green Hydrogen
  • Solar fuels
  • Ultrathin layered materials
  • Molecular spin/electronics
  • Spintrocatalysis
Presently, our group's activities focus on the rational designing of materials for the following. 
 
Electrons to Molecules 
We are interested in utilizing electrons generated via sustainable approaches such as solar, electrochemical methods etc. to generate chemicals such as hydrogen, ammonia, hydrocarbons etc. that store energy.   
  
Electrons' Spin Effects in Catalysis 
Spin property of electron will be explored in the conversion/generation of value-added chemicals.
