Basar, Telangana, India
I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Physics at Rajiv Gandhi University of Knowledge Technologies (RGUKT), Basar, where I have been contributing to research and education since October 2010.
My research focuses on computational materials science, particularly investigating thermal transport properties using first-principles calculations. I specialize in studying lattice thermal conductivity, phonon dynamics, and structural phase transitions in various material systems including layered materials, rocksalt compounds, and alkaline-earth chalcogenides.
