  1. Personal Statement

 

The common theme of my research is the application of methods from Statistical Physics and Quantum Physics (Density Functional Theory) to solve problems related to materials used for energy storage. SCAPS-1D simulation software is further deployed to model these materials and further improve their efficiencies via simulation processes. Also, my research includes the design and fabrication of thin film solar cells such inorganic and Dye sensitized solar cells.
