Dr. Mallick obtained his B.Sc.
in 2013 from Presidency College, University of Calcutta and M.Sc.
in 2015 from the Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur (IITKGP)
in Chemistry. He received his PhD in December, 2021 from the Indian
Institute of Technology, Kharagpur (IITKGP) in the field of
Electrochemistry. After completion of his PhD., he started working as a
post-doctoral research associate in the Department of Chemical and Life Science
Engineering, Virginia Commonwealth University, USA in 2022.
During his postdoctoral research at VCU, he explored the field of “Slug-flow-derived
Ni-rich cathodes for Li-ion batteries”, a collaborative project with Oak
Ridge National Lab, USA and Ionblox Inc. (industrial partner). He
was also involved in a collaborative project on “Silicon based anode for
high performance Li-ion battery”. He has authored/co-authored several highly
sited peer-reviewed journal publications, including first-authored, insightful
review articles on the various electrochemical energy storage technologies. After
returning from postdoc. he joined Battery Energy Storage System (BESS):
Technology department of Adani New Industries Limited as the Associate
Manager, and served there for seven months (Oct, 2025 – June, 2026). In this
industrial role, he was actively involved in battery testing lab development, technology
scouting and Adani BESS project commissioning at Khavda, Gujrat. He joined
IISER Berhampur in July as the assistant professor in the Department of
Chemical Sciences.
