I have 9+ years of research experience on the fabrication and characterization of the various semiconductor epilayers/thinfilms and nanostructures. I worked on the multiple projects on Ge, GaAs, and GaN related alloy materials for photonic and electronic applications. I have succesfully demonstrated enhanced optical emission and above-room temeprature ferromagnetism from MBE-grown Yb-doped InGaN thin films and nanorods and studied their growth, microstructural, crystalline properties. I have hands-on experience on various ultra high vacuum systems such as molecular beam epitaxy (MBE), X-ray photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), Pulsed Laser Deposition, Chemical Vapor Deposition, Sputtering, and characterization techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), Reflection High Energy Electron Diffraction (RHEED), Rapid Gas Analysis (RGA), Atomic Layer Deposition system (ALD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), Hall measurents, Hyoki dielectric measurement system, Raman, ball milling, and etc.
I am currently working as a Data Scientist and previously I have worked as a postdoc at the Texas State University, and the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Illinois at Urbana, IL, USA and completed my Ph.D. from University of Puerto Rico, PR, USA. I have done my masters thesis (M.Tech. in Nanotechnology) in the ultrafast laser nanostructuring on TiO2 surface at Max-Born-Institute, Berlin in 2009. And then I have also worked as a Research Assistant at Material Research Centre (MRC), IISc, Bangalore, India for a year.
