Associate Professor (January,2020 onwards ) in School of Engineering Sciences and Technology, University of Hyderabad, India.
Assistant Professor (September,2013 - January,2020 ) in School of Engineering Sciences and Technology, University of Hyderabad, India.
Scientific Officer (September, 2007 - September,2013), Corrosion Science Section, Materials Science Division, Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC), Mumbai, India.
Six years of research and development experience in nuclear industry in the domain of surface engineering, structure-property correlation and corrosion science especially stress corrosion cracking of stainless steel and nickel based alloy. Extensive hands on experience on:
material characterisation techniques as different resolution such as atomic force microscopy (AFM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), stero microscopy and optical microscopy,
electrochemical surface imaging technique such as scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) in addition to conventional electrochemical testing like cyclic voltammetry and impedance spectroscopy. In situ study of the semi conducting nature of the surface film at high temperature (300 degree C) and pressure (10 MPa) by contact electric resistance (CER) and controlled distance electrochemistry (CDE) technique.
