Research Interest

• My research interests lie in developing novel nanostructured thin films of various materials such as 2D materials (TMDs), Oxides, Metals, Carbides, Nitrides, Semiconductors, etc. by PVD techniques and green chemical approach, Porous Silicon by electrochemical anodization, and Perovskite material by spin coating in evolving a range of Gas and Bio/Chemical Sensing, Supercapacitor, Photovoltaic, and Energy-Harvesting Devices. I explore their fundamental properties like microstructural, compositional, surface, optical, electronic and electrochemical using a range of characterizing tools (XRD, FESEM, TEM, OM, AFM, EDX, XPS, UPS, VASE, RIFTS, UV-Vis-NIR spectroscopy, PL, TRPL, PPMS, Semiconductor parameter analyzer, Contact angle goniometry, electrochemical work station) and application setups
