I have been working as a Professor in the Department of Physics, School of Engineering at Dayananda Sagar University since August 2026. Prior to that, I worked as an Associate Professor in the same department from March 2022.

I completed my Master's in Physics at the University of Hyderabad, India, and I finished my doctorate in experimental condensed matter physics at the same university. Soon after my PhD, I joined the Department of Physics at the Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru, India, for postdoctoral studies. I have worked on bismuth ferrite nanomaterials, magnetoelectric composite thin films, bulk materials, and hexagonal lutetium ferrite. 

As a researcher, Resolved the ambiguity in the literature about the magnetic ordering and nature of hexagonal LuFeO3 and proved that hexagonal LuFeO3 is not a room temperature multiferroics while it is below 150 K. Recognised by the International Centre for Diffraction Data (ICDD), USA, for the contribution of the hexagonal LuFeO3 structure file to the Powder Diffraction File in Release 2020.

I have received a Gold Medal & School Topper in Class X in the year 2000. Received Dr. K.V. Rao Young Scientist Award for the PhD thesis work in 2014, followed by Dr. D. S. Kothari Postdoctoral Fellowship in 2017 and National Postdoctoral Fellowship in 2019.

I have authored 50 research publications in International Journals and conference proceedings and 1 book.

Acting as a Reviewer for 11 International Journals: 54 peer review records of 43 manuscripts.

Currently handling three sponsored projects worth 50 Lakhs from SERB and UGC-CRS.
