Ido KoreshPhD Candidate
Research Project: Lithium Garnet-type Oxide Films for All-Solid-State Batteries by Suspension/Solution Plasma Spray.
My research focuses on a novel approach to fabricate the garnet-type oxide films by the solution/suspension plasma spray (SSPS) process. We investigate the effects of the SSPS process parameters on the film’s microstructure, phase composition, chemistry and their reflection on ionic conductivity.

Shubham JainPhD Candidate
Research Project: Fly ash-based geopolymers for Cesium containing nuclear waste encapsulation.
My research work focuses on fly ash-based geopolymer processing science as a conditioning matrix for Cesium containing nuclear waste. We investigate the effects of process parameters on the geopolymer’s synthesis, microstructure, phase compositions, and Cesium encapsulation.
