1. Richa Jangra 

 In March 2022, I initiated my Ph.D. journey under the esteemed supervision of Dr. Anuj Kumar Sharma and co-supervisor Dr. Satyendra Kumar Mishra. Currently, my research focuses on high-performance photonic devices and their applications. My enthusiasm for this field is fueled by the innovative opportunities that lie ahead.

My academic journey began at N.R.J. Sr. Sec. School, Bhiwani, where I built my foundation in physics, sparking a passion for its fundamental principles. This led me to pursue a B.Sc. in Physics Honors at MDU, Rohtak, followed by an enriching M.Sc. at CCSHAU, Hisar, specializing in condensed matter physics, nuclear physics, and quantum mechanics. It was a research-based program where I did a project on “Estimation of Build-up Factor for Shielding Materials Using Gamma Ray Spectroscopy” using the concepts of nuclear and condensed matter physics. As it was an agricultural university, my additional task was to see if I could apply the same concepts to agriculture. I published a paper in the Journal of Agricultural Physics on the use of GM counters for the assessment of water status in medicinal plants. In light of these findings, I decided to pursue further research on material properties using light (e.g., optical transformations, light harvesting, sensitivity, etc.). In order to fill these research gaps, I decided to pursue my PhD.

Over the course of my academic career, I have been awarded scholarships and qualified for JAM and Gate programs.
