I am an experimental physicist with a background in physics and materials engineering, currently working as an Assistant Professor of Physics in Hyderabad, India. My academic training and research experience focus on nanomaterials, functional oxides, and structure–property relationships in solid-state and bio-inspired materials.
I received my M.Sc. in Physics and M.Tech. in Materials Engineering from the University of Hyderabad. I have formal research experience as a Senior Research Fellow at the International Advanced Research Centre for Powder Metallurgy and New Materials (ARCI), where I worked on transparent conducting oxide thin films for photovoltaic applications.
