Profile

Mayuribala Mangrulkar is currently working as an Assistant Professor, at the School of Engineering and Applied Science, Ahmedabad University. She received a Bachelor of Engineering in Electronics and Telecommunication from Rajiv Gandhi Proudhyogiki Vishwavidhyalaya, Bhopal, India. She holds a Master of Science degree in Nanoelectronics from The University of Manchester in the United Kingdom. She later pursued her doctoral degree in Materials Science and Engineering at Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology in Moscow, Russia, where she conducted research on enhancing the stability of perovskite solar cells. She was a Postdoctoral Fellow at Nazarbayev University in Nur-Sultan, Kazakhstan, where her research focused on upscaling and printing large-area perovskite photovoltaics prior to joining Ahmedabad University.

Research Projects

Ongoing Research Project:

Perovskite solar cell devices with improved stability (starting from Feb 2025), funding amount: INR 25 Lakhs, from University Research Board (URB), Ahmedabad University.
