Bio

Researcher focused in solid-state physics that has worked with thin films for different applications; such as oxide thin films of MoO3 using r.f. sputtering for chromogenic properties and metallic alloy thin films of AuxAg100-x using electrochemical potentiostat for plasmonic applications. Also, has worked on determination of thermal properties of different liquids by Front Photopyroelectric (FPPE) technique. His research interests are towards the development of nanomaterials for green technologies. Currently doing his postdoc research focused on the production and sensing of H2 using thin films grown by Physical Vapour Deposition (PVD).
