ABOUT
I'm a Material scientist and a life-long researcher. I hold a Ph.D. degree in material science with a focus on Surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) the light-matter interactions in thin-film semiconductors. I possess a particular interest in the development of nanomaterials and hybrid heterostructures for Plasmonic and Optoelectronic Devices, SPR, SERS and GERS-based bio-sensors, Graphene and bandgap engineering, Nanomaterials synthesis (0D, 1D & 2D), Computational Electromagnetics and Ab initio principles. For more information on my research, please check out my Research page or feel free to reach out to me.
