Dr. Shibabrata Basak

Dr. Shibabrata Basak is a specialist in in-situ electron microscopy, adept at designing in-situ experiments, fabricating MEMS chips, and developing in-situ holders. He obtained his Ph.D. from the Kavli Institute of Nanoscience Delft at TUDelft, Netherlands, where he focused on in-situ TEM investigation of battery processes under the guidance of Prof. Henny Zandbergen, a pioneer in MEMS-based in-situ TEM.

Following his Ph.D., Dr. Basak joined DENSSolutions to continue his work on liquid phase in-situ TEM. He subsequently returned to academia, joining the battery group at TUDelft for a post-doctoral position. There, he explored electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, NMR, and molecular dynamics simulation to develop novel battery electrolytes, while also continuing his research on in-situ TEM experiments.

Dr. Basak joined IET-1 (then IEK-9) in 2019 and was soon awarded the prestigious Marie Skłodowska-Curie fellowship to study all-solid-state battery processes via in-situ TEM. Since 2023, he has been leading the in-situ Electron Microscopy (iEM) group, focusing on understanding complex electrochemical systems through a multiscale correlative approach.
