Her area of interest is fabrication of microporous polymeric separators for Lithium ion batteries. The topic of her research is polymer based nanocomposite membranes for lithium ion battery separator, at IIUCNN, Mahatma Gandhi University .Kottayam. In addition, her research includes the preparation of microporous polymer membranes and nanocomposites by different techniques like Electrospinning, Solution casting, melt mixing etc. and their applications in lithium ion battery separator. Dr. Hanna J Maria is a senior researcher at the International and Interuniversity Centre for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (IIUCNN), Mahatma Gandhi University, India. She finished her Ph. D in the year 2015 from Mahatma Gandhi University. Soon after her Ph. D she completed work to improve the adhesion between the fibers and LDPE and evaluate the effect of plasma modification as part of her post-doctoral work at the Centre for Advanced Materials at Qatar University, India. She was also a postdoctoral fellow within the department of Mechanical Engineering at Yamaguchi University, Japan in a project with TOCLAS corporation. She got the Dr. D. S. Kothari Postdoctoral Fellowship (DSKPDF) with Prof Sabu Thomas, Professor Mahatma Gandhi University. She has 25 publications, 15 book chapters and 6 co-edited books edited to her credit. Earlier she had obtained her M.Sc. degree in analytical chemistry and later completed her M.Phil. in environmental chemistry. She has experience in working with natural rubber composites and their blends, thermoplastic composites, lignin, nanocellulose, bionanocomposites, nanocellulose, rubber based composites and nanocomposites and hybridnanocomposites.
