Memories from Soft Materials Lab

Welcome to Soft materials lab

We are part of the Department of Physics at Malaviya National Institute of Technology Jaipur and conduct fundamental as well as applied research on soft materials for energy and biological applications. We create nanostructures in polymeric thin films for various applications such as gas separation, water purification, sensors, energy storage. We also investigate Organic-Inorganic Hybrid Functional Materials for optoelectronics. Additionally, we prepare the nanostructures for gas sensors and hydrogen generation.

We are always looking for highly motivated PhD students and post-doctoral fellows to work on challenging projects in a friendly and collaborative environment. We are willing to create positions for exceptional candidates even if there are no openings posted. If you are interested to join our group, please send an e-mail to Dr. Kamlendra Awasthi (kawasthi.phy@mnit.ac.in).
