I received PhD in Physics from Shivaji University, Kolhapur, India in 2000 and worked as a postdoctoral fellow at Hanyang University, Korea. I also was on the research faculty at Oxford University, Oxford, UK. Since 2010, I have been Professor and Director (IIL) (2019-2023) at S.R.T.M., University, Nanded, India and a visiting professor at Pusan National University, Korea. With more than 400 research articles, nearly 15000 citations and 303 i10 index, I am actively engaged in the synthesis of 2D and 3D metal oxides/chalcogenides/carbides/nitrides/fluorides for solar cells, electrochemical supercapacitors, chemical sensors and bioactive applications. My major interests include the synthesis of novel nanostructures for energy generation, conversion and storage device technologies in addition to understanding their theoretical behaviors.  Finally, My name is nominated as one of the top 2% global research scientists declared by Stanford University USA since 2019 successively.
