Prof. Parida's research focus is on corrosion, coating and electrochemistry. In corrosion he is focussed on the understanding the mechanism of the atmospheric corrosion in metals and alloy development for the better corrosion protection. He is also focussed on the development and testing of both metallic (galvanized) and organic coatings. He has developed novel Zn­alloy galvanized coatings using indigenously developed hot­dip galvanization simulator. He is also working on the development of multifunctional organic coatings for corrosion protection, low­ surface energy and thermal shielding. Prof. Parida has also involved in the development and design of improved materials for oil and gas industry. He has developed and patented an economical, low corrosion, high density, clear completion fluid for HTHP oil wells. Currently, he is working on nanofluids design for EOR, which is focussed on tuning the surface wetting using earth­abundant nanomaterials. Prof. Parida has significantly worked on nanomaterials (nanocarbons, nano­oxides and trimetallic alloys) for electrochemical energy such as supercapacitor and electrocatalyst.
