About

Having an MSc and a PhD in Physics from the University of Hyderabad and Postdoc experience at IISc. Teaching from 2021 till today. I am interested in teaching young minds. I have completed Ph.D. in Physics at the University of Hyderabad on "Structural, Electrical, and Magnetic Properties of Pure and Rare Earth Doped BiFeO3” under the supervision of Dr. S. Srinath and subsequently worked as a DS Kothari postdoctoral fellow and NPDF at IISc. In my Postdoc work I have worked on the exciting hexagonal LuFeO3 compound. I could stabilise the hexagonal pure phase and addressed the most controversial thing in literature, the magnetic ground state of hexagonal LuFeO3 using neutron, SQUID measurements. We have proved that this material is not a room temperature multiferroic. The results are published in Phys. Rev. B, and J. Mag. Mater. Also, several doping elements like Mn, Ni at Fe site, Sc, La, Ho, Zr, Sr, Ba at the Lu site are considered to make the Hexagonal LuFeO3 as a room temperature…
