Research and Publications

My research area lies in the field of Ion Beam Physics, Surface and interface science, Atomic Force Microscopy, Adhesion property, Wettability study, and nanoplastic etc. I am currently working on nanoplastic which are omnipresent in the environment using Atomic Force Microscopy.
