1) Examining and modeling I-V characteristics and photoresponse in hBN-TMDC on SOI.
2) Examining persistent photoelectric current in inverted MoS2-Gr heterostructure and single photon detection.
Fabricated twisted bilayer graphene device for tunneling measurements. Performed transport measurements at 100 K and found the twist angle between the graphene layers in the device to be small as the resistance doesn’t change on varying displacement field. This is due to the formation of topologically protected 1D conduction channels. Followed the experimental developments in the field of graphene twistronics through literature.

Studied basics of Quantum Field Theory including quantisation of Dirac Field and Electromagnetic Field. I also carried out calculations involving quantised fermionic and bosonic fields, in particular, calculated the Differential Cross Section for Compton Scattering.

Performed an experiment on Ropalidia marginata wasps to find out whether males wasps show any preference when given a choice between virgin and mated female wasps, and find out statistically whether the preference is by chance or by the will of the male.
The IISc UG iGEM 2018 team received a gold medal in the iGEM International Jamboree of which I was a part of Design Team, which worked on designing website, brochures, etc. The project called PhageShift was aimed at engineering a phage that is less prone to become obsolete due to bacterial resistance.
