01 / SCIENCE & ENGINEERING
FROM FORMULATION TO FUNCTIONMaterials that
do more.
I connect polymer chemistry with practical materials challenges.
My path has taken me from paints and industrial coatings to conducting polymers and flexible energy storage. Today, I’m a PhD researcher at CY Cergy Paris Université’s LPPI, working on materials for wearable electrochemical energy storage.
CURRENT RESEARCH
CY Cergy Paris Université
Coatings with a purpose
Hands-on industrial experience with epoxy and polyurethane systems, protective finishes, and adhesion on plastic substrates, including work at Asian Paints.
Paints & coatings
Polymers across scales
Research experience spanning PEDOT conducting inks at LCPO in Bordeaux and multimodal polymer dispersions at POLYMAT in the Basque Country.
LCPO · POLYMAT
Inside my experimental toolkit
Characterisation: FT-IR, Raman, SEM/EDX, DSC and TGA.
Mechanical behaviour: tensile testing and DMA.
Electrochemistry: conductivity measurements, cyclic voltammetry, impedance spectroscopy and galvanostatic charge–discharge.
02 / MUSIC
A DIFFERENT KIND OF PRACTICESome things are
better said
at the piano.
Music is another part of how I think and express myself. Alongside science, I’ve pursued piano performance, earning Trinity Grade 8 in 2022.

03 / LANGUAGES & TEACHING
MORE WAYS TO CONNECTA wider world,
word by word.
Learning a language opens up more than a conversation.
English, French, Marathi and Hindi are part of my world. I also teach French and am exploring Spanish and German as a beginner. Having learned French myself, I enjoy helping others find their footing.

04 / THE THREAD THAT CONNECTS IT ALL
STILL EXPLORINGFrom Mumbai.
Open to the world.
I’m Aditya Chandrashekhar Apte.
I studied Surface Coating Technology at ICT Mumbai, then completed a double master’s at the University of Bordeaux and the University of the Basque Country. I’m now based in the Paris region, pursuing my PhD at CY Cergy Paris Université.
Outside the lab and away from the piano, you might find me on a tennis court or learning hip-hop. I like having something new to work on.
