Dr. Manoj Kumar is associated with SSE as Assistant Professor. He received his PhD in Physics from Indian Institute of Technology Delhi, India. His PhD research project was on Structural, Dielectric and Ferroelectric Properties of (Ba,Sr)(ZrxTi1-x) O3 Ceramics and Thin Films which focused extensively on preparation of barium titanate based perovskite powders, ceramics and thin films of varying compositions adopting techniques like by solid-state reaction, sol-gel method for powder preparation and sol-gel spin coating. The FTIR, XRD, SEM, Dielectric measurement, ferroelectric and piezoelectric measurement techniques were employed to study the structural, dielectrical and ferroelectric properties. As research associate, he has worked on Development of Gas Sensor Array for Electronic Nose based on Thick Films of Tin Oxide Nano Powder. His specialization is in Oxide ceramics and thin films, A-Si Solar cells, DSSC solar cells, Concentrating Photovoltaic (CPV). Presently, his area of research is in the field of photovoltaic cells. He carries out research work in silicon based thin film solar cells, Concentrating Photovoltaic (CPV) and dye sensitized solar cells (DSSC).
