He holds the position of Assistant Professor in the Department of Physics. He has more than twelve years of teaching and research experience in experimental condensed matter physics. He completed his PhD in 2007 from IIT Madras under the supervision of Prof. T. S. Natarajan and Prof. V. Subramanian. The PhD thesis work was based on electrical transport properties of electro spun nanofibers. He got Prof. A. L. Lasker Award for best thesis in Physics for 2007, IIT Madras. His postdoctoral work at NTU, Singapore focused on biomedical applications of electrospun nanofibers. Latter his stint at Seoul National University, Seoul, Korea as a BK 21 fellow focused on the transport properties of nanostructures. Further he moved to Laboratories de Rheologie, University Joseph Fourier as a postdoctoral fellow, where he worked on lithium ion battery. His current research is focused on development of multifunctional nanostructures for energy and biomedical applications.
