Satyanarayan Patel is currently working as a full-time associate professor in mechanical engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Indore. Previously, he worked as a prestigious Alexander Von Humboldt Post-doctoral Fellow in the Nonmetallic-Inorganic Materials Research Group, Technische Universität Darmstadt, Germany. His research focuses on bulk lead-free ceramics (piezoelectric and pyroelectric) for energy storage, conversion, and caloric effects for solid-state refrigeration. He has worked on the inverse pyroelectric (electrocaloric) effect in bulk ferroelectric ceramics using indirect measurements for solid-state refrigeration. He also explored pyroelectric energy harvesting potential in lead-free ceramics. Additionally, he has performed work on pyrocatalysis for water purification and the effect of compressive pre-stress for tuning pyroelectric properties for energy conversion and other device applications. His current research is focused on pyroelectricity in ferroelectric materials for energy harvesting, pyrocatalysis and sensing applications. Dr. Patel has edited two books and published more than 100 scientific papers.
