Rate My Professor Rajesh Narayana Perumal

Rajesh Narayana Perumal is Professor and Head of the Center for Radiation, Environmental Science and Technology (SSN-CREST) at Shiv Nadar University Chennai. He earned his PhD from the Crystal Growth Centre at Anna University in Chennai. Previously, he served on the faculty in the Department of Physics at Sri Sivasubramaniya Nadar College of Engineering (SSNCE), Kalavakkam, where he contributed to research in crystal growth and materials characterization. His work has been affiliated with institutions including Anna University and SSNCE, focusing on advanced materials for technological applications.

Perumal's research specializations lie in materials science, encompassing ferroelectric properties, dielectric behaviors, magnetic characteristics, crystal growth techniques, and luminescent materials. Notable investigations include the concurrence of ferroelectric, dielectric, and magnetic behavior in Tb2Ti2O7 pyrochlore (Physics Letters A, 2021), ferroelectric properties of pure and thiourea-doped KDP crystals (Ferroelectrics, 2022), near-infrared down-conversion in Yb3+-doped TiO2 for solar cell applications (Journal of Materials Science: Materials in Electronics, 2016), synthesis and luminescence properties of Bi3+ and Dy3+ ions doped MLa2O4 phosphors (year not specified in sources), structural and electrical properties of lanthanide-doped Bi0.5(Na0.80K0.20)0.5TiO3-SrZrO3 piezoelectric ceramics (2020), investigations on Ho-TiO2 nanoparticles for optical applications (Optik, year not specified), a software program for nucleation kinetics of solution-grown crystals using MATLAB (Journal of Crystal Growth, 2014), translation effects on vertical Bridgman growth and optical properties (AIP Conference Proceedings, year not specified), and flux growth characteristics in KTiOPO4:Ln crystals (Journal of Crystal Growth, year not specified). His publications demonstrate impact in the field, with over 2,575 citations on Google Scholar. Perumal maintains an active ORCID profile (0000-0003-4849-708X) documenting his contributions.
