Short summary of activities and expertise While working with ambient-STM and AFM at the Indian Institute of Technology, I developed a keen interest in organic thin film research. During my Ph.D., I successfully characterized the ultra-thin films of organic molecules on HOPG surface and their electrical properties. Additionally, I am experienced in cyclic voltammetry, and DFT calculations, and acclimatized in basics of SEM/TEM, XPS and Raman Spectroscopy. Along with that, I am brushing my programming skills on Python and MATLAB.
