EDUCATION: 

Ph. D. (Physics)

DESIGNATION:

Scientific Officer (E)

TEACHING

  1. Since I have joined the Homi Bhabha Center for Science Education, Mumbai in 2005, I have been involved in Physics Olympiad programme as a Lecturer, Evaluator and Academic Co-ordinator Theory for a core group of very bright high-school students across the nation.
