The Institute for Materials Research (IMR) welcomes Navni Verma as its new research associate at Nanotech West Laboratory on The Ohio State University’s West Campus. In the position, she will conduct externally sponsored research, developing computational modeling capabilities that support design and manufacturing processes of energy storage systems.

 

Verma, who earned her doctoral degree in mechanical engineering from Ohio State in 2019, brings to IMR more than a decade of research experience. Prior to joining IMR, she worked as a research associate in the Computational Lab for Energy Applied Research within Ohio State’s Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering. Before that, Verma was a graduate research associate at Ohio State’s SIMCenter.

 

At IMR, Verma will conduct externally sponsored research to develop computational modeling capabilities that support the design and manufacturing processes of energy storage systems. Her efforts will focus on electrochemical energy storage and conversion materials, components, and devices in batteries and fuel cells. Among a myriad of other duties at Nanotech West Lab, Verma will also assist residential principal investigators in the Energy Innovation Lab with the development of proposals and preparation of research results for publication.

 

Before earning her doctoral degree, Verma earned her Master’s Degree in mechanical engineering and bachelor’s degree from Ohio State and a Bachelor of Engineering in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Mumbai.

 

Outside of work, she enjoys gardening, painting, reading, knitting, traveling, and spending time with her family and friends.
