Naresh Kumar Pendyala

Naresh Kumar Pendyala is a postdoctoral researcher at the Institute of Advanced Materials (INAM) of Universitat Jaume I, Spain, since February 2023. His academic journey includes a Ph.D. in Chemistry (2017) from the Indian Institute of Technology Hyderabad, followed by postdoctoral research at the State Key Laboratory, Fujian Institute of Research on the Structure of Matter (FJIRSM), Chinese Academy of Sciences (2018–2019), and the Institute of Chemistry, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem (February 2020–September 2023).

• Education: Ph.D. in Chemistry (IIT Hyderabad, 2017)

His research focuses on semiconductor devices, particularly perovskite and quantum dot solar cells, memristors, and chemiresistive gas sensors. At INAM, he investigates perovskite material-based memristors under the guidance of Juan Bisquert and Antonio. His expertise includes additive manufacturing techniques like inkjet printing for advanced solar cells and gas sensors.

Naresh has published 24 peer-reviewed articles in journals such as J. Mater. Chem. A, ACS Appl. Mater. Interfaces, and Solar RRL, and holds a patent on inkjet-printed semitransparent perovskite solar cells. His work has earned him competitive postdoctoral fellowships in China, Israel, and Spain, though specific award names are not listed in the text.

He has contributed to advancements in scalable fabrication methods, stability optimization, and multifunctional device design. His collaborations span institutions in three countries, reflecting a globally connected research profile. Current projects emphasize perovskite memristors for neuromorphic computing and energy-efficient electronics.
