Bio:

He completed his M.Sc. in Physics with Condensed Matter Physics as Specialization from the Central University of South Bihar, Gaya (2020 – 22), where he worked on the Epitaxial Strain and Thickness dependent Metal Insulator Transitions of E-Beam Evaporated LSMO Thin Films. In August 2025, he joined the research group as a Doctoral candidate, focusing on working on perovskite solar cell device fabrication, with a focus on improving efficiency and long-term stability through defect passivation, ion-migration control, and interface engineering. His work includes developing 2D/3D perovskite architectures, exploring molecular design and spacer cations, and studying the fundamental optoelectronic properties that govern high-performance and durable photovoltaic devices and next -generation optoelectronic applications.
