Research Area
Currently, my research focuses on probing opto-electronic properties of twisted bilayer van der Waals heterostructures. Recent theoretical studies have predicted that the electronic band structure of two-dimensional materials modify with twist angle between the layers leading to emergent phenomenon such as superconductivity, Mott insulating states etc. The Moire pattern formed between the monolayers leads to a periodically modulated Moire potential, that can strongly modify optical properties. It will be exciting to probe and understand the inter-layer excitonic properties in a Moire superlattice through opto-electronic and transport studies.
During my doctoral thesis, I worked on transport properties of single semiconductor nanowires, particularly Germanium. My work involved growth, characterization and fabrication of single nanowire devices for low temperature electrical and opto-electronic studies.
