Divya Chalise

Bio: Divya Chalise is a postdoctoral scholar at Stanford University, working with Professors Arun Majumdar and Yi Cui. He completed his PhD at UC Berkeley under Dr. Ravi Prasher. His research focuses on the intersection of chemistry and thermal physics. At Stanford, he has been studying thermochemical methods of converting agricultural waste into stable carbonaceous materials. For his PhD, he worked on developing new electrochemical-thermal methods to study spatially resolved electrochemical properties with thermal metrology. In addition, he has also worked on developing thermal models for temperature prediction in lithium-ion batteries, developing time-resolved inverse calorimetry of large batteries, studying the effect of lithium intercalation on graphite thermal conductivity and generalizing the 3-omega method for high-throughput applications.
