About

Currently working as Assistant Professor at PDEAs Annasaheb Waghire College Otur Pune, also demonstrated history of an experienced Research Fellow working in the Universities as well as research institutes. Research experience on the synthesis of 2D materials using MBE, PLD, etc., and its characterization using beam line-based ARPES, LT-STM/STS, XPS, and AFM. Raman, PPMS, etc. Also the demonstrated experience in Molecular Beam Instruments with FTIR for the investigation of catalytic activity of single crystals (Pt, Pd, Mo, etc.) as well as thin-film catalysts such as CeZnO2. Currently working at Surface and Interface Laboratory, Physics, University of South Florida on MBE deposition of monolayer 2D materials and its electrical, magnetic , and catalytic properties. Furthermore, the work includes the investigation of charge density wave transition, charge transfer, and band bending etc. at low temperature. Materials Science, Nanomaterials, and Spectroscopy. Strong research professional with a PhD focused in STM, AFM, Tuning fork based AFM/STM, Instrumentation, and electron emission from Department of Physics, University of Pune.
