I possess 30 years of experience in teaching and 46 years in research. Throughout my career, I have delivered various unique courses in Physics to postgraduate students. Started Solar energy M.Phil course in Nagarjuna University and also a specialization Solar Energy subject to M.Sc. Physics course. My research has been primarily focused on Materials science in condensed matter physics like glass materials, exploring their applications s. I am proud to have supervised and mentored a total of 25 Ph.D. and 22 M. Phil. students, all of whom exclusively conducted their research on the above said 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 160 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. I gave motivation lectures at various college while attending to the colleges and universities towards research and job oriented courses. Operated UGC minor and major projects, DRDO projects, DST FIST, UGC DRS and UGC DSA-1 projects as Principal Investigator and Head and also as coordinator respectively. After superannuation, I continued research with the award of UGC BSR FACULTY FELLOWSHIP for 3 years and continued with another 3 years till 31 December, 2022. Reviewer to ELSEVIER and Thomson Reuters and other journals. Image analysis technique started in liquid crystals in India to determine several physical parameters of liquid crystals.
