Professional Summary
“I am an experimental physicist with a Ph.D. in Physics and three years of postdoctoral experience in materials science, ultrafast photonics, and energy devices. I have built laboratories from scratch and driven impactful research outputs. My track record includes 28 high-impact publications (~1000 citations, h-index – 18, i10 - 21 and cumulative IF >100). My ambition is to establish a photonics laboratory capable of performing attosecond spectroscopy, light-matter interaction and petahertz photonic experiment. This facility will focus on studying 2D material-based ultrafast photonic devices to drive real-world advancements across the semiconductor, photonics, energy, and biomedical industries.”
