Faculty in Physics with 7+ years experience in surface spectroscopy research | teaching undergraduate physics courses

Profile Summary

I am an assistant professor teaching calculus and non calculus based undergraduate Physics courses. My research interests are in Positron spectroscopy, Auger (photon/electron) spectroscopy, Topological Insulators and Science education. I have published my research in reputed peer reviewed international journals. I also serve as research consultant for an engineering startup company in Bangalore, India. I enjoy the process of scientific writing which involves literature searches, data analysis, and comprehension. i am also interested in furthering scientific discussions on innovative ideas to solve relevant societal challenges.
