I am Dr. E. Purushotham, currently serving as a Professor and Dean of Online Learning in the Department of Physics at SR University, Warangal. My academic journey began with a passion for understanding the intricate world of materials, which led me to earn my Ph.D. from Kakatiya University, India, along with an Master of Science and B.Ed.

Over the years, my research has focused on nanomaterials, particularly rare-earth and doping nanomaterials, as well as electronic materials, metamaterials, and non-linear optical materials. My expertise also extends to computational materials, metals, metal oxides, and ceramics, with a strong emphasis on developing advanced materials for industrial applications.

My research highlights include synthesizing nanomaterials using various techniques such as Sol-Gel, ball-milling, and precipitation. I have conducted extensive X-ray studies on hcp metals and alloys and explored rare-earth nanomaterials for their potential industrial applications. My work has also delved into the size-dependent thermal and mechanical properties of metal oxide nanoparticles, as well as the optical and dielectric properties of liquid crystalline compounds, especially for photovoltaic applications.

I have been fortunate to contribute to the academic community through 86 research papers published in internationally refereed journals and 16 papers in peer-reviewed Scopus-indexed conference proceedings. Additionally, I have presented 24 papers at international conferences and 11 at national conferences. As an author, I have written 8 books and contributed to a book chapter.

Teaching has been a significant part of my career, with 24 years of experience in the classroom and 20 years dedicated to research. I have had the privilege of supervising five Ph.D. scholars, guiding them in their academic and professional growth. Moreover, I have actively participated in over 128 academic events, including conferences, seminars, and faculty development programs, which have continuously enriched my knowledge and skills.

Throughout my career, I have remained committed to mentoring students, advancing research, and contributing to faculty development initiatives. Continuous learning has been my guiding principle, and I strive to share my expertise while fostering a collaborative and innovative academic environment.
