I look upon myself as a scientist in plasma sources and diagnostics. 

I have developed different kinds of plasma sources, and diagnostic tools for different kinds of plasma applications. Since last 7-8 years, I have been working in the areas of plasma based numerous applications in material processing, bio and healthcare, energy and electronic applications.

​
My work has been based on the following key directions.
1. Design and development of the plasma sources and diagnostic tools, and study the plasma generation mechanism and its effectiveness.
2. Design of the plasma processes using these sources for any intended applications.

3. Plasma based synthesis of novel functional nano-materials (techniques developed and used: Magnetron sputtering, PECVD,

    Plasma etching)
4. Study the synergy of Plasma science with nano-structure formation and controlling the properties of materials.
5. Atmospheric pressure plasmas for bio and healthcare applications.

6. RF heating and current drives in tokamak plasmas during my postdoc.

​

Research Interest: 

(i)   Understanding plasma generation mechanism 

(ii) Development of plasma sources and diagnostic tools for basic study on plasma generation and their applications.

(iii)  Plasma based Energy, Electronic, Healthcare, functional materials, etc.

(iv) Advanced functional materials (using plasma based deposition methods like magnetron sputtering and plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD), etc.) for different applications. 

(v) Plasma processes for societal applications.

(vi) Plasma for electronic application.

(vii) Plasma process for renewable energy resources.

(viii)  High aspect ratio etching by advanced plasma processes for semiconductor processing.

(ix) Small to large area atmospheric pressure plasma source for medicinal and agriculture applications.

​

Simulation and experimental activities have been initiated to undertake both basic and interdisciplinary research. Apart from this, both national and international collaborations are going on.

​

I would welcome funding support from Industry.
