The utilization of nanoscale texturing has been widespread in enhancing light trapping and light in-coupling across various optoelectronic and photonic devices. My research involves employing Lumerical finite-difference time-domain (FDTD), MATLAB and Device simulations to explore the effectiveness of nanostructures in capturing light for prospective photovoltaic devices.

Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations are utilized to explore numerous dopants and co-dopants across the periodic table, aiming to identify elements capable of enhancing both the optical properties, such as light absorption, and electrical properties for solar cell applications. Subsequently, I fed the parameters extracted from DFT calculations into device simulators to obtain the electrical characteristics of the envisioned solar cell device.

State-of-the-art single-junction solar cells are yet to achieve high power conversion efficiency (PCE) as well as high open circuit voltage (Voc) and therefore exceed the Shockley-Queisser limit. Herein, I employed solar cell capacitance simulator-1D (SCAPS-1D) and MATLAB, to propose and demonstrate highly efficient novel 2T, 4T and 6T next generation tandem photovoltaics with high open circuit voltage.

Ion-sensitive field-effect transistors (ISFETs) are increasingly appealing for label-free biosensing applications owing to their affordability, minimal consumptions, compact dimensions, straightforward on-chip integration, and capacity for rapid electronic detection in real-time. In my work, I used Silvaco Atlas TCAD simulations to design and model next generation of ISFETs.
Metamaterials-based broadband absorbers are crucial because they can efficiently absorb a wide range of electromagnetic frequencies, making them valuable for stealth technology, solar energy, thermal imaging, communication, and sensing. My works involves employing CST Microwave Studio to design an ultra-wideband metamaterial solar absorber that achieves nearly perfect absorption across the entire spectrum from ultraviolet to near-infrared wavelengths.
I designed and developed a soccer bot using Arduino Uno, BTS module, Bluetooth module, Sonar, and controlled it via a Bluetooth-enabled app created with MIT App Inventor.
I utilized Proteus for schematic design, PCB footprint creation, and subsequently I fabricated the physical PCB.
