Dr. Gaurav SHUKLA

I am an Early Career Scientist at Institute of Nanoscience - National Research Council (CNR - NANO), Pisa, Italy. Currently, I am involve in fabricating the Josephson junction based superconducting diodes and Superconducting Quantum Interference Devices (SQUIDs). I have a Ph.D. in Physics from a National Research Lab (Centre for Nano and Soft Matter Sciences, Bangalore, India), where I have fabricated self-cleaning surfaces, bioinspired structural colors, ultrasensitive biomolecule sensing devices and gas sensors. I like to communicate science to the public by writing blogs, demonstrating scientific models, and invited talks at several platforms.
