Kingshuk Roy 
Assistant Professor, RISE, TCG CREST
Kingshuk Roy is an Assistant Professor at the Research Institute for Sustainable Energy (RISE), TCG CREST. His research spans fundamental electrochemistry, energy-storage materials, electrode–electrolyte interfaces, and advanced operando and spatially resolved electrochemical characterization, with an emphasis on next-generation metal and ion batteries.
Dr. Roy obtained his Integrated PhD in Chemical Sciences from IISER Pune, working with Prof. Satishchandra B. Ogale and Prof. Ramanathan Vaidhyanathan on functional materials for lithium- and sodium-ion batteries. His doctoral research also involved collaborations with the Universities of Edinburgh, Swansea, and Cambridge through programmes including UKIERI, the Newton Prize Fund, and Indo-UK SUNRISE. He subsequently pursued postdoctoral research at Purdue University with Prof. Jeffrey E. Dick, focusing on interfacial electrochemistry, electrode-electrolyte interactions, and reaction kinetics in metal batteries.
Dr. Roy has made significant research contributions across electrochemistry, materials science, and energy storage, along with intellectual property in advanced battery technologies. His work has been recognized through the Outstanding Postdoc Award from Purdue University, a Young Scientist Award at NTU Singapore, and competitive grants including the ANRF Prime Minister Early Career Research Grant.
At RISE, he leads research on charge-transfer processes, materials design, electrochemical interfaces, microelectrode-based measurements, and operando characterization, aiming to develop safer, faster, and more sustainable battery technologies.
