Dr. Vikash Mishra

About

I am a physicist with a strong background in condensed matter physics and materials science, specializing in the optical and electronic properties of transition metal oxides. I earned my Ph.D. from IIT Indore under the guidance of Prof. Pankaj Sagdeo and Prof. Rajesh Kumar, where my research focused on exploring structural and optical properties in functional oxide materials. After completing my Ph.D., I worked as a postdoctoral fellow at IIT Bombay with Prof. Alok Shukla (2019–2021), where I expanded into computational studies for bulk and low-dimensional systems. I then joined IIT Madras as a Project Officer (2022–2023), working with Prof. M. S. Ramachandra Rao on device-related research involving advanced materials and related to diamond-based technologies.

Currently, I serve as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Physics at MIT Manipal. My research interests integrate both experimental and theoretical approaches to study semiconducting materials for optoelectronic, energy, and sensing applications. I am committed to interdisciplinary collaboration, mentoring, and contributing to both fundamental understanding and practical innovations in Physics and material science.
