After obtaining my doctorate by defending the thesis “Synthesis and Characterization of Some Nanomaterials: Oxides, Carbides, Metals and Semiconductors”, I carried out the Postdoctoral (PDF) at Southern Illinois University, Carbondale, IL, USA, from 2009 to 2010. Prior to that, I worked as a research associate at Banaras Hindu University from 2000 to 2009.

In 2012 I began my teaching and research work in the Physics Department of the University of Santiago with the courses: Solid State Physics, Elective Course Nanotechnology, Modern Physics Laboratory for undergraduate Engineering careers.

My research covers the following topics: Synthesis, characterization and application of various nanomaterials;

Synthesis of metal oxide nanostructures (copper oxide, zinc oxide, tin oxide, iron oxide and lead oxide) by electrolysis based oxidation, thermal oxidation, chemical and hydrothermal methods and their Solar cell applications.

Synthesis and tribological study of different mixed metal oxide nanomaterials (eg. metal molybdates, metal tungstates and metal vanadates). Synthesis via chemical, hydrothermal, sputtering methods etc.

Synthesis of metallic (silver, gold and copper) nanomaterials by reduction with herbs, chemical methods and their biomedical applications.

• Advanced Materials Synthesis and its various Applications

• Synthesis of Graphene, Graphene derivatives, Carbon nanotubes, Metal oxides and their composites for Energy Conversion and Storage Devices (Dye-sensitized/ Photovoltaic Solar cells, Supercapacitor etc).

• Synthesis of Metal Organic Frameworks (MOFs) for Non-linear Optics Applications

Nanoenergy and Advanced Optical Materials Group.
