CAREER OBJECTIVE !
A position in research and development department of a leading research company or organization
which should enable me to use my scientific background. A dynamic and stimulating work
environment with challenging research questions and opportunities of personal development.
WORK EXPERIENCE !
May,2012 - present PhD student
PROMOTER: Prof. R. A. de Groot, Radboud University Nijmegen, Netherlands. (www.ru.nl/english/)
▪ My research work is based upon the basic understanding of magnetic refrigerant (magnetocaloric)
materials based on computational physics. By using density functional theory on these materials,
we successfully explained the mechanism that govern the magneto-elastic transition. We also
performed detailed study to calculate efficiency of the system. Further research to improve the
efficiency of these materials are in progress.
▪ The work is a part of Industrial partnership program between FOM and BASF future business. We
are working in close collaboration with the experimental group under Prof. Ekkes Brück, based in
TU Delft.
Jan, 2011 - Feb,2012 Project assistant
PROMOTER: Dr. Ajay Dhar, National Physical Laboratory, India (http://www.nplindia.org/)
▪ Major part of the project was devoted to gain knowledge about modeling thermoelectric materials
and calculate the figure of merit for the system using DFT techniques. Mg2Si-Ge based
semiconductor materials were primarily studied in this context.
▪ Second part of the project includes the fabrication of some of the best thermoelectric materials like
Si-Ge, Pb-Te, Mg2Si by ball milling, hot press, spin plasma sintering etc. Bulk as well as nano-
sized thermoelectric materials were prepared. We did the characterization of the sample using
XRD; the chemical composition and the particle sizes are predicted. Thermal conductivity and
Seebeck coefficient measurements were conducted.
▪ Chemical synthesis of Fe3O4 based ferroelectric materials.

EDUCATION AND TRAINING !
July,2008 - May,2010 M.Sc., Physics; Jawaharlal Nehru University, India
PROMOTER: Prof. Akhilesh Pandey, Jawaharlal Nehru University, India (www.jnu.ac.in)
▪ The masters-thesis was written on random matrix theory. In my project the universality of the
energy spectra was shown in two separate ways. One by using direct construction of special
matrices and calculating joint probability distribution(JPD); and the other method incorporated
Monte-Carlo methods to start with JPD itself. Special attention was given to the edge of the
spectral distribution.
July 2005 - May 2008 B.Sc., Physics; Scottish Church College, India
