Dr Das' primary research interests span the broad area of sustainable energy technologies with a focus on the thermofluid aspects of Li-ion batteries, hydrogen fuel cells, flow batteries, and green hydrogen generators. He utilises a synergistic combination of advanced experimental characterisation and diagnostics together with multi-physics mathematical modelling and computer simulation for linking fundamental science to the design and development of better performing and robust energy devices and identifying a direction for cost-effective materials for these systems.

The aim of Dr Das' current research is to tackle the technical obstacles to the recycling and re-use of EV battery packs and the widespread adoption of fuel cell vehicles. The challenges he is tackling include fast charging, thermal safety, recycling and reuse of vehicle battery packs, durability/cost/water and thermal transport in fuel cells for vehicle and drone applications, and high-fidelity multi-scale modelling of battery packs and fuel cell stacks. He is also interested in fundamental studies in the areas of nature-inspired thermal transport, convective heat transfer, and nanofluids.

Visit the Sustainable Energy Systems lab's (EnSys lab) website and the ReLiB project site for more details.

Dr Das has given 30 invited seminars/lectures at universities and conferences, chaired/organised 20 conference tracks and symposiums, served 10 conferences as organising/technical committee members, and has been serving 20 leading journals as a reviewer.

Currently, Dr Das serves as Associate Editor for ASME Journal of Electrochemical Energy Conversion and Storage, Associate Editor for Frontiers in Energy Research - Fuel Cells, Topic Editor for Nanomaterials, Advisory Board Member of Challenges, and Editorial Board Member of Energies and Inventions.

Dr Das has an excellent publishing record that includes 100 scientific publications and 2 book chapters. According to Google Scholar, the total number of Dr Das' citations is ~3000 with an associated h-index of 27.
