Proceedings of the International Conference on Emerging Multifunctional Materials and Devices for Sustainable Technologies

Dr. D. Paul Joseph D. is currently working as an Associate Professor in the Department of Physics at the National Institute of Technology Warangal (NIT-Warangal). He obtained his Ph.D. in Physics-Materials Science (Interdisciplinary) from the Department of Nuclear Physics, University of Madras, in 2009. He was a post-doctoral fellow at the Centre for Condensed Matter Sciences (CCMS) at National Taiwan University, Taipei, Taiwan. His active research areas are alternative transparent conducting electrodes (both metals and metal oxides in thin film form), Proximity effect between Superconductors and Half-metallic Ferromagnets, alternative components for dye-sensitized solar cells, nanostructured materials for batteries, Swift Heavy-Ion-beam irradiation effects on materials and photocatalytic activity for degradation of pollutants.Dr. Jayalakshmi V. is currently an Associate Professor in the Department of Physics at the National Institute of Technology, Warangal. Prior to joining NIT Warangal, she was a postdoc at Queen’s University, Canada and Georgia Institute of Technology, USA. She obtained her Ph.D. in Physics from the Centre for Nano and Soft Matter Sciences, Bangalore . Her research interests include synthesis of nematic and chiral nematic emulsions, the development of technologies for detecting Alzheimer's biomarkers using liquid crystals and ZnO tetrapods for novel functional applications.Dr. K. Thangaraju is currently working as a Professor in Department of Physics at National Institute of Technology, Warangal, India. He obtained his PhD  from Anna University, Chennai, India. His research area includes organic semiconductors, organic optoelectronic devices such as OLEDs, OPVs, OTFTs, photodetectors, and Organic/Inorganic Hybrid nanostructured thin films and their optoelectronic devices.
