Sisir is a graduate student in Materials Science. He joined Atwater Group in 2014 researching and is researching Si microwire growth and new photoanodes for solar fuels in JCAP (Joint Center for Artificial Photosynthesis).
Sisir received (Dual Degree) Bachelors of Technology in Energy Engineering and Masters of Technology in Energy Systems Engineering, with Minor in Electrical Engineering. He is awarded Institute Gold Medal (2013), Institute Silver Medal (2013), and Institute Academic Prize for Academic Excellence in 2009, 2010, and 2012 at Indian Institute of Technology Bombay.
His previous research projects include the work on Inverse Architecture Extremely Thin Absorber Solar Cells at Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel and Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, India, and Optical Properties of Nanomaterials at University of Toronto.
Outside academics he is interested in playing sports like Soccer, Cricket, Tennis, etc. He is also interested in hiking and wildlife.
