About

Dr. Manish Kumar is the founder and 'Chairman and Managing Director' of a non-profitable research organisation 'Organisation for Science Innovation and Research' India. His research interests involve Thin films, Surface-interface effects, Photon-Matter interactions, Thermoelectrics, Plasmonics, Ion-Matter interactions, Plasma processes and Optical/ Energy/ Bio-applications.
Dr. Kumar received his doctoral degree in Physics (from Indian Institute of Technology Delhi), which involved study of mesoporous oxide and plasmonic nanocomposite thin films. During 2009-12, he worked as Research Associate at Inter University Accelerator Centre on Ion-Matter interactions. During 2012-14, he worked as Assistant Professor at Central University of Rajasthan, and developed Thin Films Synthesis Facilities at the newly developing department of Physics, and supervised 6 M. Sc. research projects. During 2014- 2017, he worked at CAPST, Sungkyunkwan University, South Korea and led a group on plasma sputtering induced coatings for Energy, Optoelectronic- and Bio-applications. He was involved in development of advanced plasma processing and measurement set-ups. During 2017-18, he worked as Senior Researcher in 'I.nanoEnergy', a company in Porto,. He was also associated to Faculty of Science, University of Porto.
He has authored and co-authored more than 70 research articles in leading peer reviewed International journals and conferences. He is member of Material Research Society and life member of Materials Research Society of India. He is an editorial board member of SN Applied Sciences, Journal of Nanotechnology and Materials Science and guest editor of MRS Advances. He is also an active reviewer for major journals series i.e. Nature, Wiley, RSC, Elsevier, Springer etc.
