Materials scientist and electrochemist with over a decade of international research experience (UK, South Korea, India) in materials engineering and advanced energy storage. Her expertise spans Li-ion and post-Li-ion chemistries, including sodium-ion, lithium–sulfur, and room-temperature sodium–sulfur systems.

She is the Founder and Principal Consultant of Advanced Material Solutions, an independent research consultancy that supports projects at the interface of materials engineering, electrochemistry, energy storage and distribution. Drawing on a foundation in materials science and electrical engineering, her work focuses on the design and integration of energy-storage systems, enabling the translation of advanced chemistries into practical cell, module, and system-level applications. Dr Haridas serves as an Expert Evaluator for research funding bodies contributing to the strategic assessment of sustainable energy research and innovation across the UK and Europe.

Previously, she was an Assistant Professor (Research) at Warwick Manufacturing Group, University of Warwick, where she led translational research on scalable cathode materials and electrolyte systems with industrial and HVM Catapult partners. Her earlier roles include research positions at King’s College London, Imperial College London, Amrita Centre for Nanosciences (India) and Gyeongsang National University (South Korea), where she completed her PhD as a Brain Korea (BK21) fellow. Her interdisciplinary background combining materials science, electrochemistry, and electrical engineering underpins a commitment to advancing sustainable battery technologies and supporting the broader transition toward electrification and net-zero.
