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. Development of process and technology for renewable and storage devices.

6. Atmospheric pressure plasmas for bio and healthcare applications.

​

7. 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 process for renewable energy resources.

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

(vii) 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.
