I am an Assistant Professor in Materials Science and Engineering at Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kanpur. Prior to that, I was a TD Module and Integration Yield Engineer at Intel.

I completed my PhD in the school of Materials Engineering at Purdue University. I graduated from IIT Kanpur with a Bachelors and Masters (Dual degree) in Materials Science and Engineering.

My research interests include developing new materials design through self-assembled metal-oxide and oxide nanocomposites epitaxial thin films for potential application as metamaterials and multiferroics.
