CICECO-Department of Materials and Ceramic Engineering, University of Aveiro | Portugal
Dr. Atul Prabhakar Jamale is a distinguished materials scientist currently serving as a Junior Researcher in the Department of Materials and Ceramic Engineering, CICECO – Aveiro Institute of Materials, University of Aveiro, Portugal. His research focuses on understanding the structure–composition–property correlations of advanced functional materials used in energy conversion, storage, and environmental applications. Dr. Jamale earned his Ph.D. in Physics from Shivaji University, Kolhapur, India, where his doctoral work centered on the synthesis and characterization of nanostructured La₀.₆Sr₀.₄Co₁₋ₓFeₓO₃−δ as cathode materials for solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). Prior to that, he completed his M.Sc. in Material Science and B.Sc. in Physics. His academic journey was marked by notable honors, including the UGC Meritorious Fellowship and the Eklavya Fellowship from the Government of Maharashtra. His current research involves the design, synthesis, and characterization of ionic and mixed ionic-electronic conductors, focusing on oxygen ion, alkali metal, carbonate ion, and protonic conductors. These materials have potential applications in fuel cells, sensors, membranes, and gas separation systems. Dr. Jamale’s expertise encompasses a wide range of synthesis techniques such as solid-state reactions, solution combustion, electrochemical depositions, and thin-film fabrication through PLD, spray pyrolysis, and screen printing. He is also proficient in advanced characterization tools, including XRD, SEM, STEM, FTIR, impedance analysis, and fuel cell testing. In addition to his research, Dr. Jamale actively contributes to the academic community as an editorial board member of reputed journals such as Frontiers in Energy Research, Membranes (MDPI), and the International Journal of Material Science and Applications. He is also a lifetime member of the Glass and Ceramic Society and the Electrochemical Society of Portugal. Through his innovative work in energy materials and ceramic technologies, Dr. Atul Jamale continues to make impactful contributions toward sustainable energy advancement and materials innovation.
