(PC, UNIX, OSX environment) Powder XRD, ball milling, thermal conductivity measurements, Seebeck coefficient measurements, chemical synthesis of ferrofluid. CAREER OBJECTIVE A position in research and development department of a leading research company or organization which should enable me to use my scientific background. A dynamic and stimulating work environment with challenging research questions and opportunities of personal development. WORK EXPERIENCE May,2012 - present PhD student PROMOTER: Prof. R. A. de Groot, Radboud University Nijmegen, Netherlands. (www.ru.nl/english/ ) ▪ My research work is based upon the basic understanding of magnetic refrigerant (magnetocaloric) materials based on computational physics. By using density functional theory on these materials, we successfully explained the mechanism that govern the magneto-elastic transition. We also performed detailed study to calculate efficiency of the system. Further research to improve the efficiency of these materials are in progress. ▪ The work is a part of Industrial partnership program between FOM and BASF future business. We are working in close collaboration with the experimental group under Prof. Ekkes Brück, based in TU Delft. Jan, 2011 - Feb,2012 Project assistant PROMOTER: Dr. Ajay Dhar, National Physical Laboratory, India (http://www.nplindia.org/ ) ▪ Major part of the project was devoted to gain knowledge about modeling thermoelectric materials and calculate the figure of merit for the system using DFT techniques. Mg2Si-Ge based semiconductor materials were primarily studied in this context. ▪ Second part of the project includes the fabrication of some of the best thermoelectric materials like Si-Ge, Pb-Te, Mg2Si by ball milling, hot press, spin plasma sintering etc. Bulk as well as nano- sized thermoelectric materials were prepared. We did the characterization of the sample using XRD; the chemical composition and the particle sizes are predicted. Thermal conductivity and Seebeck coefficient measurements were conducted. ▪ Chemical synthesis of Fe3O4 based ferroelectric materials. Page / 12
