Later from Feb 2007, he started to work with Prof Prasenjit Guptasarma of Physics department in the same university as a Research Associate and Scientist. He worked on several projects related to magnetic and multiferroic materials. At this point he got the priviledge of working at different internationally famous research institutes including "Advanced Photon Source" at "Argonne National Laboratory", "LANSCE" at "Los Alamos National Laboratory", "Synchtron Research Center" of University of Wisconsin Madison, etc.

While SMART group was formed in July 2014, he was bestowed additional responsibilities of taking care of the construction of the new campus at the then remote Simrol village which was part of the national reserve forest. Later he was appointed as Associate Dean Planning II in Aug 2015 and thereafter Associate Dean Planning I in Jan 2016. For a brief amount of time he assumed the position of Acting Dean Planning from April 2016 to Aug 2016. During this period of his deanship, he facilitated partial construction of the new campus just enough to transfer the three temporary campuses of IITI to the permanent campus in Simrol.

He also served as one of the Board of Governors of IIT Indore during the period Jan 2016 to Dec 2017. After the shifting of the institute to the permanent campus he resigned from the deanship and concentrated entirely to research. With his first batch of doctoral students already in their third year it was important for him to put more effort to ensure their graduation. Ever since then the publications from the group started to flow. In 2017 SMART group published 19 journal and 2 conference papers, in 2018 the numbers were 13 journal and 9 conference papers, in 2019 there were 18 journal and 7 conference papers, and in 2020 12 journal and 8 conference papers. Until June 2021 the group has bagged 5 journal papers. He has graduated 12 PhD students in a shorth period of Jan 2018 to March 2021. The graduated doctorates from SMART group are placed in USA, Canada, South Korea and India as post docs. Two of his students are about to graduate soon and have already appeared in their Open Seminars with their thesis either submitted or to be submitted. There are at present five more PhD students. Most of these students graduate with an average 5 first author publications in reputed journals and several other contributory publications and conference proceedings.A DST WOSA theoretician, Dr E G Rini, is also a part of the SMART group and is a strong support to the students. The group also have graduated 9 masters students in different projects and most of them graduate with at least one publication as contributing author or in special cases as a first author.

The SMART lab synthesizes high purity complex materials which are structurally designed to execute multiferroic properties. Facilities present in-house include a synthesis lab with a fume hood and several high temperature furnaces (1100C and 1350C), a rf-sputtering unit for oxide thin film preparation, a sputter coater for metallic thin film deposition, a spin coating unit for organic thin film preparation, a Chemical Vapor Deposition furnace, a X-Ray Diffractometer, a Raman spectrometer, UV-visible Spectrometer, Light and chemical sensing setups including two Keithley source meters, a dielectric property measurement unit, a Hall probe measurement unit, a cyclic voltameter, and a few other facilities. The group maintains strong connection with RRCAT, UGC-DAE Indore and other research institutes in India.

After spending a brief period of three years teaching in a school in Kolkata, India, he went abroad with the thirst of better research. His passion for both teaching and research made him chose his profession in this domain of academics. He spent a brief postdoc in National Taiwan University from Jan 2003 to Aug 2003.

He returned to India, in Jan 2013, as a Visiting Associate Professor in the Centre of Surface Science and Engineering of Indian Institute of Technology Indore. He joined IIT Indore as a permanent faculty member in October 2013 in the Department of Physics. During his first two years while he was still setting up his lab and research group he was given the responsibilities of promoting the research initiatives of IIT Indore.

The SMART group encourages young undergraduates from engineering and science background to work closely in the lab. Presently the lab is internationally well connected with National Taiwan University, Ming Chi University of Technology, King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals, Sunny Buffalo, etc.

Students travel as interns, masters students and postdocs from SMART lab to different foreign universities. Apart from just scientific research, his group trains interns from different levels starting from high school, B.Tech./B.Sc., M.Tech/M.Sc. levels. Several of these interns go for summer internship at different labs abroad. Several high school students too have benefitted from the experience gathered in his laboratory.

Investigations on structure-correlated electronic, dielectric, ferroelectric, photosensitivity, chemo-sensitivity, electrochemistry, etc. are some routine experiments performed in his simple lab. A new look of utilizing some high dielectric constant materials with low losses are being investigated in the light of dielectric resonator antennas.
