Issac Nelson P

About

Dr Issac Nelson is currently a postdoctoral researcher at the Zhengzhou Advanced Research Institute, Harbin Institute of Technology, China. He holds a PhD in Physics from Karunya Institute of Technology and Sciences, India, where his research focused on the selenization-free fabrication of copper, indium gallium selenide, and ternary Kesterite thin-film structures using multilayer thin films. With over six years of experience in material science, particularly the deposition of thin film structures for light-driven applications, he specializes in thermally evaporated thin films.

His academic journey includes a master’s degree and a master of philosophy, with dissertations on iron oxide-based rheological fluids and polymer electrolytes for lithium-ion batteries, respectively, at Karunya Institute of Technology and Sciences. Dr. Nelson earned his bachelor’s degree from Madras Christian College, affiliated with the University of Madras, and also completed a B.Ed. at Meston College of Education, Tamil Nadu.

Beyond academia, he served as the technical director at the ANEH Scientific Foundation and organized over 12 events, with a total participant count of around 2,500. Materials Today, Elsevier, and the Elsevier Foundation recognized his contributions by shortlisting him as a nominee for the Agents of Change Award (2023).
