Faculty Profile

About

I am keenly interested in exploring the structure-property correlation of highly correlated systems. Specially, I am interested in exploring the magnetic properties and the physical properties that are affected on application of external magnetic field. I am also working on thermoelectric materials, for solid sate energy conversion applications, in collaboration with Prof. Kanishka Biswas, NCU, JNCASR, under the SERB sponsored TARE project.
