Profile Summary

Self-motivated and skilled researcher/editor/reviewer/writer in Physics/Materials Science/Chemistry/Nanoscience, driven to achieve academic/professional excellence. A truly inspiring, world-class educational/research background that includes the top institutes of India and the USA. Exceptional track record of research success with multiple published articles (25) in high-impact, international journals affiliated with Nature, Wiley, American Chemical Society, American Institute of Physics, Royal Society of Chemistry, Elsevier, etc. To complement my research qualifications, I have thrived to be a science writer/editor, project manager, a proficient mentor, and a part-time peer-reviewer for international journals. My core research experience has been on understanding the growth, assembly, processing, and properties of nano/bulk materials relevant to energy, environment, and healthcare by use of electron microscopy and other characterization techniques. My research expertise is in the following: (i) Synthesis of shape/size-controlled plasmonic nanomaterials and semiconductor heterostructures. (ii) Characterization of nano/bulk materials using S/TEM, SEM/FIB, AFM, EDS, EELS, FTIR, Raman, XPS, UV-visible absorbance spectroscopy, PL, XRD, TGA, DSC, UTM, Probe station and cyclic voltammetry. (iii) Investigating light-matter interactions in laser-induced diffusion and welding of plasmonic nanomaterials using Ultrafast TEM. (iv) In-situ/aberration corrected S/TEM to understand atomic diffusion in nanodevices. Research publications 25; Patents filled 1; Total citations 284; h-index 10.
