Srikanth Mateti received his PhD in 2018 from Deakin University and his Master of Technology degree from Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University, Hyderabad, India, in 2011. He has been working as a Research Fellow in the Institute for Frontier Materials (IFM) at Deakin University since 2018.His research interests include in-situ synthesis and controlled doping of carbon and nitrogen into various nanomaterials, especially nanotubes (boron nitride, carbon) and nanosheets (graphene, boron nitride), using mechanochemistry (high-energy ball milling). He is also interested in developing new applications for these novel materials (thermal management, energy storage and catalysis).
