About

I am currently working as a Humboldt Fellow at Georg-August-Universität Göttingen/Fakultät für Physik, specializing in research on photon upconversion and luminescent nanomaterials. My focus is on the applications of nanomaterials in optical and biomedical domains. With a background spanning over a decade in this field, I earned my PhD in Physics from joint work at the Indian Institute of Technology (Indian School of Mines) and the University of Göttingen.

In addition to my research, I have ~ 42 journal/chapter publication record, 6 guest editorships, and ~310 peer-review for esteemed journals and books.
