Akant Sagar Sharma

since 2023

Postdoctoral Researcher in Nano-spectroscopy group, Department of Physics, Sapienza University of Rome, Italy.

Supervisor: Prof. Marta De Luca.

Currently working on the project “Advanced optical spectroscopy of site-controlled single photon

sources in single III-V nanowires” within the ERC Starting grant “NANOWHYR”.

2021-2023

Postdoctoral Researcher in the Ultrafast Spectroscopy Group, School of Physics, Indian Institute of Science Education and Research, Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, India.

Supervisor: Prof. Rajeev N. Kini.

I worked in the field of temperature-dependent ultrafast hot carrier dynamics of III-V-Bismide semiconductors using pump-probe spectroscopy. Also studied the temperature-dependent electrical  transport properties of III-V-bismide semiconductors.
