Percolation, Scaling, and Relaxation in Polymer Dielectrics - Softcover

Dr. Maheswar Panda holds a Ph.D. in Physics from the Indian Institute of Technology in Kharagpur, India, which he obtained in 2011. He is currently an Assistant Professor of Physics at Dr. Harisingh Gour Vishwavidyalaya, a Central University in Sagar, Madhya Pradesh, India. Prior to this position, he has worked as an Assistant Professor of Physics at Central University of Rajasthan, Central University of Jharkhand, and National Institute of Technology Raipur. He is well-respected among students for his unique and effective teaching style. He is a member of both the Indian Association of Physics Teachers and the Indian Physics Association. His research interests include percolative composites, energy storage materials, phase transitions, dielectrics, ferroelectrics, multiferroics, magneto-electrics, magneto-dielectrics, EMI shielding, visco-elastic properties, and more. He has published over 30 journal articles, including 7 single-author articles, and has received two patents (onein India and one in Germany). He has also contributed a chapter to a book. In 2019, he was awarded the INSA Visiting Scientist Fellowship and the Young Achiever Award at ICC-2017 in Bikaner, India. He has served as the Principal Investigator on two projects focusing on the development of polymer dielectrics, funded by SERB (DST) and UGC in New Delhi. He has also supervised 24  M.Sc. Dissertation projects in the completion of their degrees and is currently guiding two students in their Ph.D. studies.
