Research Assistant – Louisiana State University, May 2005- August 2007

Single Photon source using chiral nematic liquid crystal:

Responsible for conducting theoretical research about exploring the possibility of using the chiral nematic liquid crystal as a photonic band gap material. A two level atom or a dipole is embedded in a chiral nematic liquid crystal and we investigate its emission properties (theoretically) which gives insight into using a dipole embedded in a chiral nematic liquid

crystal as a single photon source for which Maxwell's equations are arranged as a 4 4 matrix

(Berreman 4 4 matrix) and FORTRAN 77 is used to determine the transmittance as a function of frequency for different polarization to determine the density of modes.

Research Assistant – Louisiana State University, August 2004 – May 2005

Simulated the flow of heat in a superconductor with some impurities using diffusion equation, using FORTRAN 77 on Linux operating system using successive over relaxation method.

ACADEMIC PROJECTS

1) Solved time-dependent Hamiltonians for four-level atomic systems using unitary integration method. Also wrote Mathematica programs for solving coupled Non-Linear differential equations.

2) Simulated the flow of heat in a superconductor with some impurities, using FORTRAN 77 on Linux operating system using successive over relaxation method.

3) Simulated the transmittance of light (as a function of frequency) through a liquid crystal using FORTRAN 77 on Linux platform using Berreman 4 4 matrix method.

4) M.Sc Degree Thesis

Complex Impedance Spectroscopy and Its Application to Study of Solid Electrolyte Materials:

Complex impedance spectroscopy technique was applied to the study of bulk ion conductivity and grain boundary properties of Yttrium substituted Barium Stannate (Ba(SnY)O3-x . During this project a high temperature cell for the (Ba(SnY)O3-x sample was designed and built, data was obtained from an experimental setup using complex impedance spectroscopy technique and the bulk oxide ion conductivity and grain boundary properties in this compound were evaluated from the data obtained, using Nonlinear Least Square Fit program. The results were submitted as M.Sc research thesis as part of the requirement for my M.Sc degree at IIT.
