Bairav Sabarish Vishnugopi

Bairav Sabarish Vishnugopi is a Researcher at Purdue University's College of Engineering, Department of Mechanical Engineering. He holds a PhD from Purdue University and previously served as a Research Scientist at the same institution. His research focuses on energy storage systems, particularly solid-state and lithium-ion batteries, with emphasis on interfacial stability, thermal management, and electrochemical safety analytics.

• PhD, Purdue University
• Previous Role: Research Scientist, Purdue University

His research spans mechanistic analysis of electrode/electrolyte interactions, data-driven battery safety, and multiscale degradation modeling. Recent work examines thermal gradients, chemo-mechanical coupling, and dynamic discharge behaviors for applications in electric vertical take-off aircraft (eVTOL). Articles highlight alloy anode stability, SEI engineering, and hydrogen's role in steel electrification.

Key scientific contributions include:

• Thermo-electrochemical instability fingerprinting
• Microstructural evolution in conversion cathodes
• Pressure-driven stability optimization

He received the H. H. Dow Memorial Student Achievement Award (2023) for his work on interface stability analysis. Current collaborations involve PEM electrolyzer integration and energy-climate analytics frameworks.
