Professional Experience

👨‍🏫 Starting my journey as an Entry-Level Assistant Professor in Physics at PSG College of Arts and Science, Coimbatore, India, on March 1, 2022, has been a fulfilling experience. Prior to this role, I served as a Research Associate at Prof. Christopher Selvin’s Luminescence and Solid State Ionics Lab, Bharathiar University, Coimbatore, India, from April 10, 2019, to February 28, 2022. In this position, funded by CSIR, Government of India, I delved into green alloy synthesis, high entropy alloy synthesis, crystal structure simulation, and grant writing. Earlier, I served as a Lecturer at VSB College of Engineering: Technical Campus, India, from July 10, 2012, to June 5, 2013. 🌟

Education

👨‍🎓 With a diverse academic background, I hold a PhD in Physics (2013-2018) from Avinashilingam Institute for Home Science and Higher Education for Women, India. My doctoral research, funded by DST-INSPIRE and supervised by Dr. B. Nalini, focused on enhancing the performance of tin antimonide anodes for all-solid-state batteries. Prior to my PhD, I completed an MSc in Physics (2010-2012) from Avinashilingam Deemed University for Women, India, achieving a CGPA of 9.1/10. My master’s thesis involved studying barium titanate thin films using the spin coating technique, presented at the AMEEA-2012 conference. I commenced my academic journey with a BSc in Physics (2006-2009) from NGM College of Arts and Science, Bharathiar University, India, graduating with a CGPA of 8.4/10. 📚
