I am a material scientist currently working as a Senior Researcher at University of South Africa (UNISA) under UNESCO Africa Chair in Nanosciences/Nanotechnology award. I completed master’s in physics at Loyola College, Chennai and PhD in physics at Manonmaniam Sundaranar University, India in 2014. I continued my academic career as a assistant professor at Sri Sankara Arts & Science College affiliated with University of Madras, Tamil Nadu, India before moving to South Africa in 2015. During my role a assistant professor, I have handled undergraduate physics subjects for conducting and hosting laboratory tours across nanoscience research facilities. I have served as a student coordinator to guide newly arrived newcomers (entry level) students to fit into the colleges and urban community.
