About

Srikar Vengallatore is a leading researcher in micro-scale energy systems, with a primary focus on the design, fabrication, and characterization of micro solid oxide fuel cells (µSOFCs) for portable power generation. His major contributions center on the development of single-chamber micro solid oxide fuel cells (SC-µSOFCs), a promising technology that eliminates the need for complex gas separation, enabling simpler and more compact power sources. Vengallatore pioneered the use of direct-write microfabrication techniques to create these devices, specifically employing interdigitated electrode configurations that maximize the electrochemical reaction area. His most cited work, "Direct-write microfabrication of single-chamber micro solid oxide fuel cells" (2007, 29 citations), demonstrates the successful fabrication and testing of SC-µSOFCs in a single-face configuration, achieving a critical milestone in miniaturizing fuel cells for portable electronics. This research has been foundational for subsequent work in micro-energy systems, highlighting his ability to bridge materials science, microfabrication, and electrochemistry. Vengallatore’s work is notable for its practical approach to integrating fuel cells into small-scale devices, making him a key figure in advancing sustainable, high-density power sources for the next generation of portable technology.
