Route to training or education
Firstly, I completed a B.Tech degree in Electronics and Communication Engineering with 1st Class honours from India in 2007. I then worked for Wipro Technologies in the software development for international clients gaining 2 years of industrial experience. I was then given the opportunity to work in the field of nanoelectronics, and so I took up the MSc course in Nanoelectronics at The University of Manchester which I completed successfully with Distinction in 2010. Following this, I then started my PhD at the University of Manchester last year and am currently in my first year of research.
Your training/education
Light Emission through novel nanoelectronic devices using Group III-V and IV semiconductors. I am trying to generate light from new nanoelectronic devices using Silicon and other semiconductors utilizing the material properties. It involves basic and advanced physics, chemistry and a lot of mathematics to calculate the effects. It's a highly challenging and interesting career where the latest cutting-edge technologies are used.
Was the route to your training or education typical, unusual or a bit of both?
Typical
Day in life
The use of advanced technologies along with reading lots of science journals, designing new models of approach and implementing them in real time.

Life outside work
Being a trained Indian classical vocalist, I love to sing and perform as well as listen to songs. Apart from singing, I love to cook new dishes and have been cooking for over a decade now. Also, I have a strong inclination towards the different aspects of life involving science, nature and its advancements. Thus, I read a lot of advanced materials over the web. Last but not least, I want to highlight my tech-crazy personality - I have always loved to tinker with toys and electronics!

Advice
As we all know, research in itself is a highly self-motivated process and very challenging because at times we have to challenge even our limits in finding the basic questions of science. Still, I would say it’s very fascinating and once you are in, you love to go deeper and deeper in your quest for more knowledge. Another aspect is patience, which always proves to be the key to success...along with hard work.
