I am currently an associate professor in Dept. of Physics, GITAM, Hyd, finished my education in Physics with Ph. D (2013), including B. Sc (2007) & M. Sc (Gold Medallist, 2009) from a leading state university, i.e., Maharaja Krishnakumar Singhji Bhavnagar University (MKBU), Gujarat. To continue my passion, I further pursued postdoctoral study at the Institute of Physics, Karl-Franzens University, GRAZ, Austria, jointly with CNR, PISA, Italy.
