biography

  • I am a Postdoctoral Associate at Florida International University (FIU), working with Prof. Himanshu Upadhyay and Prof. Shekhar Bhansali. I am affiliated with the MEMS and Quantum-AI Laboratory in the Department of Electrical Engineering. Prior to joining FIU, I was a Research Associate at CSIR India (with Dr. Surendra Kumar), a Visiting Scholar at CSIR-NCL (with Dr. K. Krishnamurthy), and a MP-Young Scientist at UGC-DAE CSR, Indore, (with Dr. Mukul Gupta). I earned my Ph.D. in Physics from NIT Bhopal, India. I have authored over 45 peer-reviewed journal articles, multiple book chapters, and conference papers. Additionally, I serve as a reviewer and have received several Outstanding Reviewer awards from prestigious publishers and organizations, including Elsevier, Springer, Nature, ACS, IOP, Wiley, and reputable international conferences.

research interests

  • My research lies at the intersection of materials science, advanced manufacturing, and artificial intelligence, focusing on the fabrication, characterization, and deployment of functional materials for next-generation devices. I specialize in electrochemical 3D-printed micro/nanostructures, plasmonic and magnetic systems, and engineered interfaces tailored for high-performance sensing, energy harvesting, solar photovoltaics, and energy storage. By integrating experimental surface science, photophysics, and quantum confinement phenomena with data-driven modeling and machine learning algorithms, my work accelerates materials discovery, optimizes additive manufacturing process parameters, and refines electrode architectures to bridge fundamental materials physics with practical device integration.
