I am an Experimental Physicist, with focus of my research in the fields of Materials Science and Optoelectronics. We use various types of Optical, Electronic and Electrochemical probes to explore the fundamental properties of low dimensional material systems and demonstrate their potential use for Energy Applications ranging from Energy Storage, Optoelectronic to Photonic devices.
