I hold a Ph.D. in Material Science and Engineering and bring over a decade of experience in Thin Film Technology, Electrochemical Devices, and Sensors. My expertise lies in nanofabrication, bio-sensing, and electrochemical sensing, complemented by a strong command of advanced analytical techniques and tools.

I am proficient in methods such as plasma processing, CVD, sputtering, and ion implantation, as well as analytical tools including XPS, XRD, EDS, SEM, AFM, STM, I-V/C-V measurements, defect studies, UV-Vis spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and photoluminescence (PL). My work has resulted in numerous publications in peer-reviewed journals.

My research interests lie at the intersection of various disciplines, encompassing Thin Film Technology, 2D Materials, Surface and Interface Physics, Plasmonics, Synaptic Properties, Optoelectronics, Energy Devices, and Electrochemical Sensors. I am passionate about driving innovation and contributing to cutting-edge advancements in these fields.
