Research Associate

Ph.D. Materials Science and Engineering, 2009

Institute of Metal Research, Chinese Academy of Science, Shengyang, China

Research Interests:

Chemistry, materials and physics science of nanomaterials, nanocomposites, and multifunctional thin films; e.g., design, fabrication, chemical functionalization, and applications of graphene and carbon nanotube research, and their interaction research with related non-carbon nanostructures.

Since my high school, I was fascinated with the scientific wonder. I was always curious to know what things happen, why things happen, and how things happen.This motivated me to study the Physics and finally brought in the field of superconducting thin films fabrication and characterization. My current project primarily focuses on controllable self assembly of nanostructured Artificial Pinning Centers (APCs) in high temperature superconductor, YaBa2Cu3O7-x (YBCO), epitaxial thin film.

I completed MS in physics from Tribhuvan University, Nepal. My research interest primary focus on the deposition of thin film and characterization. I am interested in energy storage devices especially solid state super-capacitors for efficient and fast energy storage using pulsed laser deposition (PLD). My main area of focus is in designing magnetic tunneling junction (MTJ) and its characterization.

My work focuses on growing zinc oxide nanowires on graphene for applications in optoelectronics through a seedless low-temperature solution based fabrication method. We aim to optimize these zinc oxide nanowire arrays grown on graphene through this fabrication method by varying fabrication parameters.
