ABOUT ME

Mudasir Younis Sofi is a Ph.D. scholar in the Department of Physics at Jamia Millia Islamia in New Delhi, where he is pursuing research in the discipline of Advanced Computational Material Sciences. He has previously completed his Master's degree from Jiwaji University Gwalior with excellent grades. Mudasir' s exceptional dedication to his research pursuits has earned him the highly coveted Prime Minister Research Fellowship (PMRF) in recognition of his high-impact work. The broader area of his research under the PMRF is focused on the development of novel quantum materials (perovskites and their derivatives) using modern DFT theory, with the aim of addressing the global energy crisis by transforming waste heat into functional energy (thermoelectricity) without harming the environment. These materials also have immense potential in emerging domains of optoelectronics, particularly as photo-absorbers in solar cell applications. Notably, Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have shown remarkable efficiency improvement in recent years, achieving laboratory-scale devices with up to 23% conversion efficiency. Beyond academics, Mudasir is a passionate gardener and cricket enthusiast, and he actively volunteers to support the underprivileged and less fortunate people of the marginalized society, demonstrating his strong commitment to community service and social responsibility.
