About

Hi, I am Dr. Sri Aurobindo Panda, currently working as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Physics at Parul University, Vadodara, Gujarat after completing my Ph.D. in Physics at Birla Institute of Technology and Science (BITS) Pilani, specializing in Condensed Matter Physics. My aspiration is to establish myself in the field of Experimental Solid-State Physics and contribute meaningful research to the scientific community. My research focuses on the growth of metal oxide-based nanostructures using Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) techniques and the investigation of the role of structure, morphology, chemistry, and crystalline orientation in gas-sensing applications. Through my work, I aim to advance the development of functional nanomaterials for sensing technologies and contribute to addressing real-world challenges through physics-based research.
