Current research: 1. Working on synthesis and characterization of single and polycrystalline Iron-pnictide superconductors and also study their critical properties. Mainly involved in flux pinning and flux dynamics studies using VSM and AC susceptibility measurements. 2. Development of ultra-high-resolution Gamma-ray spectrometers based on high purity Sn absorbers and superconducting Mo/Cu multilayerthermistors for nuclear non-proliferation applications. Superconducting Gamma-ray microcalorimeters operated at temperatures around ~0.1 K offer an order of magnitude improvement in energy resolution over conventional high-purity Germanium spectrometers.  (* for recent research activities click 'Recent' tab in top menu.)
Research Experience: Experience in handling cryogens and cryogenic instruments. Good knowledge of Instrumentation and automation. Synthesis of single crystals of Iron-pnictide compounds using flux and without flux growth techniques. Membership in Professional Societies:
