Dr. Narayanan Lakshminarasimhan (Laks)
I am a Scientist working at CSIR-Central Electrochemical Research Institute, Karaikudi, Tamil Nadu, India. My research focuses on functional materials for energy and environmental applications. The theme of my research is understanding the crystal structure-morphology-property relationships in functional materials. My research covers materials with different functionalities. They include phosphors, photocatalysts, materials for solar energy conversion and electrochemical energy storage, magnetic and dielectric materials.
