I received my B.Sc. and M.Sc. in Physics from M. L. K. P. G. College, Balrampur, Uttar Pradesh, India. Motivated by a strong interest in computational physics and materials research, I pursued a Ph.D. in Physics at the S. V. National Institute of Technology (SVNIT), Surat, awarded in 2018. My doctoral thesis, “Ab initio study of two-dimensional materials for potential applications”, focused on the electronic and structural properties of emerging 2D materials for energy and electronic devices.
After completing my Ph.D., I joined the Materials Theory Division, Department of Physics and Astronomy, Uppsala University, Sweden (2018–2024), where I worked as a postdoctoral researcher. My research explored the structural, electronic, optical, and magnetic properties of 2D/3D materials, with applications in energy storage, optoelectronics, and catalysis.
Since 2024, I have been a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm. Here, I continue to expand my work on quantum transport, sustainable functional materials, and machine learning approaches for materials discovery.
Authored over 125 peer-reviewed publications in high-impact journals, including npj 2D Materials and Applications, Renewable Energy, and ACS Applied Energy Materials.
Recognized among the Top 2% of Scientists Worldwide by Stanford University and Elsevier (2023 & 2024).
Recipient of prestigious research grants and fellowships, including support from the Swedish Research Council, Olle Engkvists Stiftelse, and Carl Tryggers Stiftelse for Vetenskaplig Forskning.
Delivered invited lectures and actively participated in international conferences and workshops in Europe and India.
My expertise lies in first-principles simulations, electronic structure calculations, and machine learning approaches applied to materials science. I investigate quantum transport, energy storage, catalysis, and sustainable materials design, aiming to bridge fundamental physics with real-world applications in clean energy and nanotechnology.
Alongside research, I have taught undergraduate and graduate students in India and Sweden, including positions as an Assistant Professor at Government College of Engineering and Technology (Bikaner, India) and Marwadi Education Foundation Group of Institutions (Rajkot, India). I have also supervised student projects and contributed to developing research facilities. I remain committed to mentoring students and fostering inclusive academic environments.
Beyond research, I enjoy science outreach, mentoring young students, and engaging in interdisciplinary collaborations that connect materials science with societal challenges. My academic journey continues to be inspired by the vision of designing sustainable and energy-efficient materials for the future.
