Professional and Education Experience

Currently, I am working as Maître de Conférences (Associate Professor) at Université du Littoral Côte d’Opale, France. Principally, I am attached to the École d’ingénieurs du Littoral-Côte-d’Opale for my teaching assignments in addition to the Unité Dynamique et Structures des Matériaux Moléculaires (UDSMM) for research. My research interests are the Soft Matter, 2D materials, Nanomaterials, Liquid Crystals, Ferroelectric materials, Thermoelectric materials, for Electro-optical, Photovoltaics and Energy storage applications.

ABOUT ME
After completing my doctoral degree in Soft Condensed Matter from the University of Lucknow, India, I did my postdoctoral research at the UDSMM laboratory of the ULCO. Later on, I joined the ULCO as a permanent faculty member in 2018. As a researcher, I find myself a hard-working, determined, focused on the core, very friendly in group working, quick learner person with a never-ending thirst for knowledge.
