Doctoral Thesis Defense, Dec. 2024

I have successfully defended my doctoral thesis at the Materials Research Centre, Indian Institute of Science (IISc) on 19th December, 2024. From joining in 2019 until now, this journey has been incredible. This still looks like a dream to me. It has been a great learning experience throughout this, filled with hard work and personal, professional growth. This would not have been possible without the support of my supervisor, Prof. Abhishek Singh, who always kept believing in me and provided constant guidance. His enthusiasm and disciplined work ethic created a stimulating research environment.

I am grateful for my mother's selfless love, encouragement, and sacrifices. Her unwavering support has been a driving force behind all my achievements.

I would also like to take this moment to thank my labmates throughout this journey. You all were more than just labmates in every sense, helping me to navigate the tough patches, twists, and turns of my research path. I cherish all the moments with you all.

I look forward to embarking on the next phase of my research and exploring new frontiers.
