Después de obtener el grado de doctor defendiendo la tesis “Synthesis and Characterization of Some Nanomaterials: Oxides, Carbides, Metals and Semiconductors”, realicé el Post doctorado (PDF) en Southern Illinois University, Carbondale. IL, USA, del 2009  al 2010, con anterioridad trabajé como investigador asociado en Banaras Hindu University desde el año 2000 al 2009.

El año 2012 inicié mi trabajo de docencia e investigación en el Departamento de Física de la Universidad de Santiago con los cursos: Física del Estado Sólido, Curso electivo Nanotecnología, Laboratorio de Física Moderna para las carreras de pregrado de Ingeniería.

Mis investigaciones abarcan los siguientes temas: Synthesis, characterization and application of various nanomaterials;

Synthesis of metal oxide nanostructures (copper oxide, zinc oxide, tin oxide, iron oxide and lead oxide) by electrolysis based oxidation, thermal oxidation, chemical and hydrothermal methods and their Solar cell applications.

Synthesis and tribological study of different mixed metal oxide nanomaterials (eg. metal molybdates, metal tungstates and metal vanadates). Synthesis via chemical, hydrothermal, sputtering methods etc.

Synthesis of metallic (silver, gold and copper) nanomaterials by reduction with herbs, chemical methods and their biomedical applications.

• Advanced Materials Synthesis and its various Applications

• Synthesis of Graphene, Graphene derivatives, Carbon nanotubes, Metal oxides and their composites for Energy Conversion and Storage Devices (Dye- sensitized/ Photovoltaic Solar cells, Supercapacitor etc).

• Synthesis of Metal Organic Frameworks (MOFs) for Non-linear Optics Applications
