I have been working as a faculty member of Physics and Materials Science at Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur (IITK) for last 36 years, of which 26 years as Professor.
My core interests are in the Physics of Semiconductors and other photoelectrons materials within the broad contours of Condensed Matter Physics. For the past more than two and half decades I have been interested in organic semiconductors, flexible and printable electronics.
I love teaching at all levels from first year of Engg. to postgraduate classes. I also design and teach courses on professional communication and ethics. I have an abiding interest in philosophy of science and technology (S&T).
