Biography:
Anchal Pandey is a Ph.D. candidate in the joint AcSIR-RMIT program and currently works in the School of Engineering at RMIT University, Australia. She received her Master’s degree in Chemistry from the University of Allahabad, India. Her doctoral research focuses on atomic-scale friction in two-dimensional heterostructures, examining the role of interfacial lattice mismatch using tribological and surface characterization techniques. Her work aims to advance the synthesis of ultra-low friction lubricants and deepen understanding of interfacial mechanics in 2D systems. She has published in peer-reviewed journals and is actively involved in interdisciplinary research and scientific outreach.
