Description of research: I am working on first principle electronic structure calculation of thermoelectric materials.

Curriculum: I obtained my PhD  at Department of Civil, Environmental and Mechanical Engineering, University of Trento in 2023. I obtained my Bachelor of Science degree (Physics) from University of Delhi, India in 2016. After graduation I received my Master of Science (Physics) degree from Central University of Haryana, India in 2018. My master's thesis was on "Glass preparation and statistical analysis of plastic event in a steady state: A molecular dynamics simulation".

 I am working on structural, spectroscopic, and thermal properties of thermoelectric nanomaterials. I also study phononic and electronic transport properties. My recent research works are focused on Copper Tin Sulfide (Cu2SnS3, CTS) material and its possible applications as a high-performing thermoelectric material.. I obtained my PhD in 2022 at University of Trent.  I hold a bachelor's and a master’s degree in Physics. I did my master’s thesis work (Jan-July 2018) from Hard X-ray Applications Laboratory (HXAL), Indus-II synchrotron source, Raja Ramanna Centre for Advanced Technology (RRCAT), Indore, India.  I studied structural, spectroscopic, and magnetic properties of Nickel-Ferrite nanoparticles using various beam-lines of Indus-II synchrotron source.

My research activity has mainly focused on the development of membranes for fuel cells. In particular it centers around the synthesis and characterization of anion exchange membranes. I obtained my PhD in 2018 at University of Trento, with the thesis title; Anion Exchange Membranes (AEMs), based on Polyamine Obtained by Modifying Polyketone, for Electrochemical Applications, under supervision of Prof. Rosa Di Maggio and Prof. Paolo Scardi. I also had the opportunity to work with Prof. Vito Di Noto from University of Padua, Italy.  I am currently working at Prof’s Scardi group as a postdoc. My main research interest covers the following topics:
Fuel cell membranes and technology
Thin film photovoltaic cells and thin film thermoelectric
Mechanical activation of drugs for HIV and COVID-19
