Dr. Satish Kumar Verma is currently working as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Physics & Environmental Sciences, Sharda School of Engineering & Science, Sharda University, Greater Noida, India. His career began at the University of Lucknow, Lucknow (India), where he graduated with a bachelor's degree in 2009 and Masters degree (Renewable Energy) in 2012. He has earned his Masters degree in Physics from Dr. Shakuntala Misra National Rehabilitation University, Lucknow, India in 2017.  Afterwards he joined Prof. O. N. Srivastava (Hydrogen Man of India), Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi, India for Doctoral Degree. Dr. Verma earned his Doctoral Degree in the field of ‘Hydrogen Storage and Utilization in December 2022 and went on to join as a Research Scientist (postdoc) in an industry (M/s Hydrogen Horizons (Israel) Ltd.) funded project at Department of Materials Science and Engineering, Technion-Israel Institute of Technology, Haifa, Israel (from January 24, 2023 to July 31, 2023). Afterwards Dr. Verma joined as Project Scientist-I in 'DST-Bio energy and H2 Map' project at Department of Sustainable Energy Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur, India (from August 03, 2023 to June 25, 2024) with Prof. Shobit Omar. During this period, he was involved in the investigation, designing and advanced characterizations of novel materials for hydrogen storage and cooling/refrigeration applications.
