POSITIONS

I always seek highly motivated candidates (e.g. PhD, POSTDOC) in several research programs. Anyone interested in any of the fields below: 

• • Photocatalysis/Hydrogen Storage

  • Batteries / Solar Cells

  • Computational Material Science

  • Quantum Computing

There are two PhD positions available in our group that have cleared the GATE examinations. For PhD students, candidates with CSIR-UGC-NET/NET-JRF/Inspire Scholar are highly encouraged. If you haven't cleared any national-level examinations like NET or GATE, you can join our group, but without any fellowship as a self-sponsored candidate.

The link for PhD admission is open till 15 April 2026. [Link]

Interested candidates/students may contact me at yas@phy.svnit.ac.in with a brief CV.
