Biography

My research interest mainly focuses on the synthesis, materials processing, and physical properties of intermetallics, silicides, oxides, and chalcogenides-based materials for thermoelectric power generations, especially to harvest untapped waste-heat into usable electricity and thereby powering a small-scale electronic device and boost-up the gasoline heat engines. In this view, since 2007, I am extensively working on (i) the Physics of functional materials, (ii) tailoring the electronic and phonon band structures, (iii) engineering the microstructures by metallurgical routes, (iv) Examining the mechanical properties, (v) Development of Thermoelectric Power Generators and (vi) Design, Assembly and Fabrication of Transport Property Measurement Systems, to enhance the thermoelectric (heat-to-electricity) conversion efficiency of selected materials.
Further, I am also exploring the rare-earth-free NiMn-based half-Heuslers for low magnetic field and room temperature magnetic refrigeration.
