Dr. Yash N. Doshi is an academician and experimental researcher in Materials Physics, currently serving as a faculty member at P. P. Savani University, Surat. He is involved in teaching core Physics courses for engineering and diploma programmes, including Experimental Physics (B.Tech) and Physics (Diploma Engineering). His teaching responsibilities focus on developing conceptual understanding, experimental skills, and the application of fundamental physics principles to engineering and technological contexts through a balanced integration of theory and laboratory practice.
Dr. Doshi completed his Ph.D. in Materials Physics (Experimental) from the Department of Physics at Sardar Vallabhbhai National Institute of Technology (SVNIT), Surat, where his doctoral research focused on chalcogenide-based semiconducting materials for optoelectronic and multifunctional applications.
He obtained his M.Sc. (Physics, Electronics specialization) and B.Sc. (Physics) from South Gujarat University, Surat, building a strong academic foundation in experimental physics and materials science. His training includes hands-on experience in crystal growth, thin-film fabrication, nanomaterial synthesis, and structural, optical, and electrical characterization. His research interests include chalcogenide semiconductors, defect engineering, thin films, nanoparticles, heterostructures, optoelectronic devices, photodetectors, sensors, and photocatalytic materials. He has authored and co-authored research articles in SCI- and Scopus-indexed journals, contributing as a first author, corresponding author, and co-author.
In addition to scholarly publications, Dr. Doshi holds multiple registered laboratory instrument designs granted by the Patent Office, Government of India, and a copyright registered with the Copyright Office, Government of India, related to experimental system development and simulation methodology. His academic engagements include participation in national and international conferences, refresher and advanced courses, and interdisciplinary research collaborations, all of which support continued professional development and scholarly contributions.
