Sindhya Ajith

Sindhya Ajith holds an MSc in Renewable Energy from Edinburgh Napier University (UK), completed in 2024, with a specialization in energy materials, solar energy technologies, and sustainable energy systems. She also earned an MSc in Physics from the National Institute of Technology Karnataka (India) in 2019, specializing in condensed matter physics, nanomaterials, spectroscopy, and quantum mechanics, and a BSc in Physics from the University of Calicut (India) in 2017.She brings over two years of professional experience as a Subject Matter Expert in Physics and Mathematics, contributing to the development and review of advanced graduate-level academic content aligned with international curricula. Sindhya Ajith's research focuses on advanced polymer-based materials for electrochemical energy storage, particularly solid and gel polymer electrolytes for next-generation batteries and flexible supercapacitors. During her MSc at Edinburgh Napier University, she developed polyethylene oxide–zinc chloride solid polymer electrolytes for zinc-based energy devices, gaining hands-on experience in materials synthesis, device fabrication, and electrochemical characterization.She is also a co-author of a peer-reviewed publication in Small (2025) on Ni–Fe layered double hydroxide materials for flexible supercapacitors, resulting from a collaborative project between Edinburgh Napier University and Atlantic Technological University (Ireland).Earlier, she worked on cerium oxide-doped borosilicate glass systems for scintillator applications during her time in NIT Karnataka, focusing on structural and optical characterization of doped glass matrices, and developed a Python-based simulation of Rutherford scattering during her BSc.She is working in the TRANS-CAP project under the supervision of Prof. Irune Villaluenga and Dr. Valeria M. Blanco.
