Research Interests
I am an applied physicist whose current research interest is in the vicinity of micro and nano-characterisation, meta-optics, spectroscopy,
plasmonics, light-matter interaction, nano-scale thermal radiation, infrared optics, advanced nanostructures, metamaterials, and high-
frequency computational electromagnetics. I am presently working on the theoretical and computational analysis of the nature of
near-field thermal radiation around a plasmonic nano-bubble generated by metal nanoparticles for hyperthermia, thermal and bio-
engineering applications. I have previously worked to design, fabricate and characterize functional optical metamaterials for THz
magnetoplasmonics. My erstwhile research work involved the fabrication and computational and experimental characterization of the
infrared radiative optical properties of highly absorbing silicon metasurfaces for thermal energy harvesting. I have previously worked
on the design, development, fabrication, and characterization of sustainable multi-parameter sensing microelectromechanical sensors
and micromachined flow-rate sensors for water network monitoring. My other previous projects involved optical sensing in high voltage
transmission lines and voltage flicker mitigation using STATCOMs.
