Research Statement

Low dimensional solid state physics: We develop low-dimensional semiconductors based on Silicon and Carbon in the nanoscale. Quantum structures of Silicon are synthesized in the laboratory for both fundamental and application-oriented studies.Photonic and Photovoltaic applications of the low-dimensional semiconductors are explored. Electronic transport properties along with the optoelectronic properties of the synthesized quantum dots and rods, are studied for their potential applications as light sources and in different types of sensors and quantum devices.
Physics Education Research: Other than the mainstream research, our group is actively involved in developing experimental setups for teaching laboratories in the Post graduate, Undergraduate and even in the school level.
