Our group is inclined for nanomaterials design, facile inorganic synthesis and materials properties investigation for ferroelectrics, micro-energy (thermoelectric, piezoelectrics, photovoltaics), sensing,  and related energy technology applications. We also are interested in understanding natural materials to explore earth's natural phenomena at nano-scale. The overall emphasis is on revealing structure-property-functionality relationships of novel functional and nanomaterials systems in developing a comprehensive knowledge of their physical, chemical and functional properties useful for predicting technological applications. The effect of structural, chemical, dimensional and morphology variations on the piezoelectricity, ferroelectricity, charge and heat transport, optical, magnetic, mechanical properties of a broad range of materials is thus of paramount interest.
