Mr. Amanda Sefage

Overview

Field of Specialisation : Material Science, Nanoscience, Condensed Matter Physics Research Interests Mr. AP Sefage is a lecturer in the department and is now pursuing a PhD in experimental condensed matter physics. His research largely centers on the creation and application of luminous materials, particularly rare earth-doped inorganic phosphors. His current doctoral research focuses on the application of photoluminescent materials in phototherapy for the treatment of skin problems.
