Research interests:

Physics and Chemistry of materials in bulk and nanoscales, chemical physics, nanoscience and nanotechnol­ogy. High pressure and high temperature effects on structural, electronic and lattice dynamical properties, production and characterization of nanosized materials, especially carbon nanotubes and fullerenes, ion- irradiation using heavy and swift ions on thin film samples of carbon nanotubes and fullerenes, strength and toughness study of carbon nanotube embedded in glass and polymer composites, shock impact study. Energetic materials and nanoenergetic materi­als, green polynitrogen based high energy nanoscale materials. Hetero fullerenes, graphene and newer materials of carbon, boron and nitrogen and their mixtures.


Teaching Experience: Taught at Physics Department since past nearly 3 and half decades. Taught several courses to undergraduate and post graduate students. The courses taught more frequently involve Solid State Physics and Mathematical Physics in addition to elementary courses involving modern physics, heat and thermodynamics, electricity and magnetism. Introduced several new experiments in postgraduate lab and nanotechnology lab. Guided new and innovative projects leading useful experiments for students of  M.Sc. , M.Phil and M.Tech degrees.
