Welcome

Previously, I was working as a post-doctoral fellow at IIT Bombay, in developing hyperbolic metamaterials like gold pillars. Utilizing advanced techniques like electron-beam lithography followed by a novel nano-electroplating, I used to fabricate gold pillars. My primary goal was to explore the potential of electroplating—an age-old yet effective technique for achieving thicker deposition in less time without encountering lift-off issues at a cheaper price. The plasmonic gold pillar platform used to enhance the photoluminescence properties of monolayers of 2D TMDC semiconductors like MoS2. The harmonization of surface plasmon resonance, localized surface plasmon resonance, and the hyperbolicity property of the gold pillars have led to the development of a sensor capable of detecting ultralow concentrations of biomolecules.

During my doctoral studies, I conducted research in the fabrication, characterization, and transfer of silicon nanowire arrays for energy conversion and storage applications. My work often involves interdisciplinary collaboration with Material Science, Electrical Engineering, and Physics experts. This collaborative effort has equipped me with a versatile skill set, positioning me to excel in a multi-faceted research environment.
