Field of transparent conducting thin film coating such as graphene, metal wire network. This coating can be explored for various applications such as heaters,corrosion protection, smart windows, gas sensing and biological cover slips. Additionally, focused on reducing the complexity and the cost involved in graphene production. For the same, we utilize bio-material as a carbon precursor with mild temperature and pressure conditions. Currently, we
are in joint collaboration with TATA to broaden the scope of steel usage in different application.

 

Investigation of optical and electrical properties of Rotated Multilayer Graphene is prime interest of my research work (e.g. Raman, FET, temperature dependent conductivity, etc.). Herein, we use rotary pressure CVD grown graphene over Ni foil as a case study. Further, research is focused on using the metal network based Transparent Conducting Electrode for the fabrication of human interactive devices such as Touch screens, thin film heater, EMI shield. The part of the work is demonstrated as prototypes in CeNS prototype gallery.

 

Additionally, my interest extends to Instrumentation Development. Currently, we are in the process of developing advance Gas Sensing setup.
