Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Janak Paudel, a Physics graduate student at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, investigates materials science with a focus on synthesis and application of nanostructured metal oxides. His recent work includes the photocatalytic water splitting capabilities of Z-scheme tungsten copper oxide and tunable nonstoichiometric tungsten oxide nanostructures for enhanced supercapacitor performance. Paudel has also explored the thermoelectrochemical synthesis of nanostructured cupric oxide (CuO) and the single-step synthesis of tungsten oxide nanostructures via resistive hot wire oxidation. His research interests extend to improving the tribological performance of coatings through controlled laser sintering and the development of solar-powered devices, such as a standalone DC fan. Paudel has collaborated with Fumiya Watanabe, John Nichols, and Krishna KC on multiple publications.
