Gopal's research focuses on the design and development of novel bi and trifunctional electrocatalysts derived from COFs, porous organic polymers, and low-cost transition metal-based MOFs for use in Zinc-air batteries and Fuel cells. He has been an SKH group member since 2021. He holds B.Sc. (Second honor) and M.Sc. in chemistry from the university of madras, Tamilnadu, India, as well as a Ph.D. in Inorganic Chemistry (2017) from the Vellore institute of technology in Tamil Nadu, India. He has developed multifunctional MOFs and metal silicate materials as key heterogeneous catalysts for organic reactions in recent years.
