Research

My research interests center around

  • Quantum Materials
  • Twistronics
  • Blue Energy
  • Membrane Technology
  • Van der Waals Heterostructures

Instruments Expertize

I have hands on experience in handing most of the high tech facilities of condensed matter physics including:

  • Atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition (APCVD), low pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD) for synthesis of two dimensional materials
  • Plasma cleaner and chemical wet bench for Graphene/TMD transfer
  • DC sputter, E-gun evaporator. Thermal evaporator for deposit thin films of Aluminum, Platinum, gold as metal pads and electrodes (Drain, source, Gate) for graphene FET
  • Spin coater, Hot Plate for Photoresist and development process
  • EUV lithography (Karl Suss MA6), E-beam lithography (JOEL) for patterning and isolation of electrodes of FET
  • Raman, SEM, XPS, TEM, AFM, Optical microscope for graphene/TMD characterization and
  • Low temperature probe station for Transport property measurements.
