• Sushrisangita Sahoo is a postdoctoral associate in the Materials Science & Engineering Department at Tuskegee University from May 2023. Her present work is mainly focused on low temperature plasma treatment of biomass/waste derived carbon and use them as reinforcement filler to thermoplastic and thermoset polymer to tailor thermal and mechanical properties of the composites. Her research interests also include multiferroic composites, nanogenerators, ferroelectric, dielectric ceramics and polymers, catalytic graphitization of biomass derived carbon, etc. She was a leading researcher in Research Institute of Physics at Southern Federal University, Russia from May 2021 to December 2022. She completed her Ph.D. in Physics from Siksha ‘O’ Anusandhan (Deemed to be University), India in 2018. Her Ph.D. work was mainly focused on development of multiferroic materials by combining rare earth orthoferrites and barium titanate.
