Phosphors for Energy Saving and Conversion Technology

Dr.Vijay B.Pawade, is an Assistant Professor in Applied-Physics Department, Laxminarayan Institute of Technology, R.T.M. Nagpur University, Nagpur, India. He did M.Sc(Physics) in 2008 (Specialization Condensed matter physics and materials science ) and Ph.D.(Materials Science) in 2012 from Nagpur University. He has seven years of teaching experience in engineering physics and five years of research experience in the study of optical properties of novel rare earth doped oxides based phosphor materials and their application in solid state lighting technology. He has published 27 research papers in refereed international journals and more than 20 papers presented at conferences. Also, he has contributed four book chapters as a co-author on nanomaterials characterization, its engineering applications in energy industries and their future perspective in the development of environmentally friendly energy sources in an edited book published by Elsevier. Now his research focuses on the development of lanthanides based inorganic materials which find potential applications as multifunctional materials for energy saving solid state lighting and energy conversion materials for PV technology. At present, he is the editor of the book entitled "Nanomaterials for Green Energy ? published by Elsevier. He is also an reviewer of many international peer reviewd journals published by Elsevier, Willey , Taylor fancies, ACS and RSC.
