Ishita

I am a researcher in chemistry with a strong focus on electrochemical energy storage materials. My work involves the design and development of advanced metal oxides, metal chalcogenides, and MOF-based materials for supercapacitor and battery applications. I am particularly interested in understanding charge storage mechanisms, improving electrode performance, and developing sustainable materials for future energy technologies.

Teaching Assistant (B.Tech Practical, Chemistry) at Indian Institute of Technology Hyderabad

Course code: CY1031. Aim: To determine acid strength in a citrus fruit juice by conductometric/pH metric titration.

• Conducted conductometric and pH-metric titrations to find the acid content in citrus fruit juice.
• Made up standard NaOH solution and standardized conductivity/pH meter prior to titration.
• Tabulated titration data and determined end points from conductivity/pH vs. volume plots.
• Measured acid strength as molarity and g/L of citric acid.
• Confirmed precision by conducting repeat trials and adhering to standard laboratory safety procedures.
