Teaching Experience 

I have served as Assistant Professor in Physics for two semesters. During this time I assisted in teaching an advanced course in engineering physics for B.Tec. students at the Federal Institute of Science and Technology, Kerala, India which involved both classroom-based learning (i.e. preparing and delivering lectures) and laboratory-based learning. (August, 2015 to June, 2016). Also assisted in teaching a course in Energy Storage Materials and instrumentation methods such as microscopy, surface probe microscopy etc for Ph.D. Graduates at Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Hyderabad and Rice University, USA.
