About My Research

Passionate about both experimental and theoretical research, my current focus revolves around unraveling the fundamental intricacies governing the electronic structure and properties of transitional metal-doped pure and hybrid semiconductor nanoclusters, superatoms, nanotubes, lithium-ion batteries, and their applications in pollution control. I delve into water electrolysis, hydrogen storage, and hydrogen fuel, employing various wave function-based methods in 'quantum chemistry' and 'Density Functional Theory (DFT)' to address these multifaceted challenges.

In the realm of experimental research, I specialize in studying magnetism at low temperatures through Mossbauer spectroscopy. My experimental endeavors are closely intertwined with industrial materials, metallurgy, mineral sciences, and fuel research, contributing to a comprehensive understanding of these fields.

Furthermore, I take pride in my substantial contribution to calculating the Ti-C-based ternary alloys phase diagram, a pivotal aspect with implications in defense. This diverse research portfolio reflects my commitment to advancing knowledge and addressing real-world challenges at the intersection of materials science, physics, and engineering. I regularly serve as a reviewer for 33 international journals. So far, I have reviewed 213 research articles as per the ORCID database. Details are as follows:
