Samrat Sarkar
I am currently an Assistant Professor of Physics at Parul University in Vadodara. I practice interactive teaching methods, mentoring of students, effective knowledge dissemination with real life examples.
My research expertise lies in preparing and processing nanomaterials, characterizations, designing and conducting experiments, fabricating devices, analyzing data, and effectively communicating research findings. I have also gained valuable experience in postdoctoral research focused on developing advanced materials for energy storage applications.
I am very much keen to obtain various grants and projects for necessary funding of research. I have strong writing skills for research articles, proposals, and reports, as well as expertise in data analysis. My goal is to apply my skills to real-world applications in engineering and industry, with a particular interest in semiconductor, supercapacitor, and battery technologies.
