Personal Information

Dr. S. Ravikumar his BS, MS and Master of Philosophy degree in Physics from Bharathidasan university and Doctor of Philosophy in Physics from Bharathidasan University Trichy, (India), He Currently working as Assistant Professor (SG), Department of Applied Physics , (2023 – Till date). 

I have 8 years of research & 3 teaching experience in various institutions and I had a research position as project fellow in an UGC minor and DST- SERB major research project. 4 M.Sc., students have been completed their final year project work under my guidance and 2 M. Phil., scholars did their research work under my supervision. Presently, I am working on the preparation of different types of semiconductor nano particles and photo-degradation  applications such as wast water treatment. Moreover, my research work is also focused on the effect of environmental pollutes.
