Microscopy
FEG-TEM & HR-TEM
500+ hours. Data Shown: Atomic resolution IFFT analysis of lattice fringes.
My expertise spans the full materials lifecycle, bridging computational design with experimental realization.
🔬 Instrumentation Proficiency
⚗️ Synthesis Architectures
🔥 Molten Salt (TMSS) & Hydrothermal
Specialized in Topochemical Molten Salt Synthesis (TMSS) for high-crystallinity powders and low-temperature hydrothermal routes for metastable phases.
⚡ Electrodeposition & Thin Films
Development of Zinc electrodes via electroplating and fabrication of contact pads using Orion Sputtering and CVD.
🌪️ Dynamic Hydrothermal (DH)
Developed a proprietary stirring-assisted protocol to synthesize high-aspect-ratio nanorods by overcoming diffusion limitations.
⚙️ Mechanochemistry
Shear-induced exfoliation and nucleation of nanomaterials for scalable production.
💻 Computational & Data Stack
While my core expertise is experimental, I leverage a robust computational stack to accelerate data analysis and visualization.
- Simulation: Density Functional Theory (DFT) using VASP & Gaussian.
- Analysis: Python (Pandas, Matplotlib) for automated data plotting and crystallography scripting.
- Database: SQL for managing large-scale experimental datasets (XRD/XPS libraries).
🤝 Transferable Skills
Beyond the bench, I bring operational leadership to R&D teams.
Project Management
Led the "Mess Digitalization" project for 2000 students, optimizing logistics and reducing costs by 15%.
Mentorship
Guided 4 M.Sc./B.Sc. students through their thesis projects, focusing on experimental design, instrument training, and scientific ethics.
Collaboration
Executed cross-border research (India-Israel) on chiral spintronics.
