A lot can be done using simple tools, is what I believe. Research need not always require high-end instruments, software and calibre. Using easily accessible chemicals and devices, I try to see what perovskites and other two-dimensional materials can bring to the table - both experimentally and computationally.
The ever-vibrant Microscience Lab in the Dept. of Physics in IIT Kharagpur houses a plethora of instruments and optical tools, perfect for synthesizing and characterizing 2D materials like graphene, MoS2, MoSe2, WS2, WSe2, Black Phosphorus, ZnO-based materials, thin layers of CsPbI3, etc. In house metal deposition systems, transfer system, CVD, sputtering systems, AFM, photoluminescence, etc. alongwith the brilliant set of scholars make work faster and smoother here. I am very lucky to be able join this lab and wish to exploit its facilities to the fullest!
