  • Ido Koresh
    PhD 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 Jain
    PhD 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.
