Professional Achievement :

I possess 27 years of experience in teaching and 30 years in research. Throughout my career, I have delivered various unique courses in Physics to both undergraduate and postgraduate students. My research has been primarily focused on glass materials, exploring their applications in diverse fields such as lasers, optical fibers, display panels, insulators, battery materials, biomedical applications, and non-linear optical devices, among others. I am proud to have supervised and mentored a total of 10 Ph.D. and 6 M. Phil. students, all of whom exclusively conducted their research on glass materials under my guidance.
In addition to my teaching and mentoring roles, I have contributed significantly to the scientific community through the publication of over 150 research articles in highly esteemed, peer-reviewed journals. Furthermore, I hold membership in several prestigious professional scientific bodies, actively engaging in the advancement and dissemination of knowledge within the field of physics.
