Postdoctoral Researchers
Anuraj Kshirsagar (Ph.D.)
Anuraj is a postdoctoral associate joined in April 2021. Anuraj completed his PhD from Defence Institute of Advanced Technology (DIAT) Pune, India in 2019. He completed his first postdoctoral research at Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER) Pune, India. Anuraj is interested in light-matter interactions, understanding of photophysical mechanisms and fabrication of light emitting devices (LEDs). With his experimental expertise he aims to develop efficient materials for LED fabrication.
In free time he enjoys to listen music, play and watch cricket, badminton and table tennis.
