Biography

Badri Vishal received his Ph.D. from JNCASR, Banglore India in 2020 in materials science after finishing his M.Sc in Physics from the Indian Institute of Technology-Delhi, India (IIT-Delhi). His research will be focused on advanced Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and Focused Ion Beam (FIB) based study of  Perovskite and Silicon Tandem Solar Cells.

 

Research Interests

  • Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM): HR-TEM, S/TEM, DF/BF, EELS.
  • Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations.
