Ms. Rasikapriya P. V. joined the Nanotechnology Research Center (NRC), SRMIST, in June 2024 as a Junior Research Fellow under CSIR EMR 11 project entitled “Designing of two-dimensional MoS2 – Bi2Se3 layered nanocomposites with nano-inclusions for thermoelectric applications” and joined as a research scholar under the guidance of Dr. M. Navaneethan. She has completed her post-graduation from Central University of Haryana and a 5-month master's project completed as a full-time project student at IIT Madras on “Emission spectra analysis by optical emission spectroscopy and thin film fabrication by sputtering method.” She has cleared competitive exams like GATE 2024 and CUET 2021. She was a recipient of the INSPIRE Scholarship (SHE) from 2018 to 2023. Her current area of interest is the investigation of thermoelectric application of topological insulator bismuth selenide.
