I received my Ph.D. from the Department of Instrumentation and Applied Physics and Centre for Nano Science and Engineering (CeNSE), Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore during 2015. I finished my M.Sc. in Physics from Sri Venkateswara University, Tirupati (2007) and B.Sc. (Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry) from Acharya Nagarjuna University, Guntur (2005). I was worked as a Postdoctoral Researcher at Centre for NanoScience and Engineering, IISc Bangalore, India for around three years from 2014 to 2017 prior to joining IIT Madras.
