Research Interests

The foundation of science and technology is research. As a researcher, I hope to investigate numerous transdisciplinary fields. My areas of interest in study include the structure-process-property correlations displayed by metal oxides, sulphides, in bulk, thin films, and nanomaterials for energy-related applications (such as hydrogen generation, supercapacitors and photocatalysis), spintronics, and detectors. I have conducted independent research and have published papers on it in a number of internationally renowned Scopus journals since joining Jain University. Four additional manuscripts are currently being reviewed by other international Journals. I have successfully fourteen M.Sc. physics project theses and guiding five PhD Scholars. I used to take an active role in the research and develop the labs with my expertise.
