Dipali is a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering at the University of Toronto, Canada. Her research interest is focused on modeling 2D materials for the anode materials of battery applications. The properties of the 2D materials are explored using density functional theory (DFT) calculations and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and further suggest their use for battery applications. In addition, the thermal conductivity of the 2D materials will be investigated using DFT and Machine Learning approaches.

Dipali completed her Ph.D. in Physics from the Indian Institute of Technology (Indian School of Mines) Dhanbad in 2023. In her Ph.D., she investigated the photocatalytic properties of 2D transition metal dichalcogenides for water-splitting applications. She completed her master’s degree in physics from the Indian Institute of Technology (Indian School of Mines) Dhanbad in 2017. In her master’s thesis, she has studied the dipole-dipole interaction-induced fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) and the evolution of electrochemical capacitance of graphene with reduction time. She has obtained a bachelor’s degree in Physics from the Vidyasagar University, India (2015).
