Research

Our research focusses on renewable energy technologies and sustainable development, with a particular emphasis on green hydrogen production. We are passionate about developing innovative electrochemical systems and advanced materials that efficiently utilise renewable energy sources to produce hydrogen and valuable resources, thereby aiding in the decarbonisation of energy use and industrial sectors. Our work includes designing next-generation electrolysis technologies, direct solar-to-hydrogen systems, and scalable synthesis methods for earth-abundant electrocatalysts. Please see our website at https://www.act-h2.com.au/ for more details of our research. We are actively seeking PhD students to join our research team. If you have a strong background in engineering, physics, or chemistry, please email me your CV and transcripts. At ANU, PhD scholarships are highly competitive and are awarded to only the top few percent of applicants.

Activities & Awards

Dr Karuturi was a recipient of the Australia-China Young Scientists Exchange Programme Award from the Australian Academy of Technology and Engineering, and the Australia–India Strategic Research Fund Early- and Mid-Career Fellowship from the Australian Academy of Science.
