Summary of my Research Contributions

1. I have completed M.Sc Physics (Materials Science) in 1974 with first

division with distinction and Ph.D (Materials Science) in 1978 from

Osmania University. In 1979 joined in OU as Asst. Prof. and elevated to

Professor Level in 1991.

2. Initially my research work has been focused on the ferrimagnetic

materials. My fundamental contribution to the field of ferrimagnetic

materials: are: for the first time we have investigated the temperature

and magnetic field dependence of elastic and anelastic behavior in the

neighborhood of Curie temperature on the mixed ferrites and garnets. A

new theoretical explanation has been provided with help of domain wall

dynamics. This work has been very much appreciated by Prof. Neel, a

Nobel laureate in physics and invited me to work with in his group as

post-doc at CNRS lab, Meudon Paris, France, in the year 1986

3. From the years 1982 to 2000, my research work was mainly

concentrated on the development new ferrites and magnetic materials

for various applications such as electromagnetic sensors, microwave

devices and, high frequency components. In this process, we have

developed many ferrites system such as Mn-Zn ferrites, Ni-Zn. Li-Zn, Co-

Zn ferrites, MgMn ferrites, NiCuZn ferries, MgCuZn ferrites, YIG , GdYIG,

Ni-Al, NiZn Co, etc( Thin films and bulk). This work on ferrimagnetic

materials has been well documented through more than 180

publications

4. During the years1989-1999, I had an opportunity to visit PTB, Germany

under DAAD fellow to work on high Tc superconducting materials.

During this visit many new High Tc superconducting materials were

developed for various applications. Total 10 papers were published.

5. We have started working on nanomaterials in the year 2000. A detailed

experimental studies were carried out on nanomagnetic materials to

understand the atomic architecture and nanostructure of these

materials using techniques such as; XRD, NMR, TEM etc. We have

developed novel nanomagnetic materials for many applications such as:

nano- silver for drinking water purification and TiO2 as a material for

visible photoreactions etc

6. My Original contributions to the field of hydrothermal processing

include the processing of nanophase ceramic materials and metal

powders. Ni, Pe, Pd, Pt, Co, Sn, BiS3. we have used a novel synthesis

method namely, microwave-hydrothermal process for faster, greener

and cheaper synthesis of ceramic powders of various unary, binary and

ternary compositions. These contributions led to over 20 refereed

publications in various reputed journals.

7. I have made seminal contributions in the magnetic materials field by

designing and synthesizing a series of new materials, including various

Nanocomposites. and published over 20 papers in the nanocomposites

area alone and received two patents on these materials which could

lead to significant energy savings. I have organized 4 symposia on Nano-

materials and “ Nanocomposite Materials” and has edited 2 chapter in

books on this topic.

I have developed and optimized desiccants for use in gas-fired cooling

and dehumidification equipment which use no environmentally

threatening refrigerants.

8. I have made original contributions in the field of nano- garnets, and

nano-composites for more than five years. We have prepared and

characterized many nano-ferrite systems for various applications such as

soundsensors, magnetosrtictive transducers, phase shifters, isolators,

memory core, microwave absorbers etc.

9. Recently our group working on alternative energy materials i.e particular

fuel cells and gas hydrates etc.

10. I have been consistently productive throughout my career and

published at the rate of about 10 publications per year in the last thirty

five years with a total of over 300 refereed publications.

11. I have attracted considerably large funding to support his research

programs with DST ( Six projects), New Delhi, UGC ( Two major projects

and two minor projects ), New Delhi , CSIR (One projects), DRDO (TWO

Project). NSF -DST (One project), DAE-BRNS , Mumbai ( One project),

CNRS, France(One project)..

12. A total of 21 students obtained Ph.D. degree under my supervision

Currently 8 doctoral students are working with me. My students are

gainfully employed in many Industries and Universities and Research

labs in world wide.

13. My research work has been recognized with many wards: RESEARCH

AWARD BY UGC, NEW DELHI, Best research award by many academics

of Science such as CNRS, France, etc. Best paper awards received so far

are about 11.

14. In addition to my research contributions, I have been rated as an
