Dr Venkata Srinu Bhadram is an experimental physicist with research interests spanning across hard condensed matter physics, chemistry, and materials science disciplines. He is deeply engaged in studying matter at extreme pressures in order to discover new technologically relevant materials. He frequently collaborates with computational physicists and chemists for materials modelling and simulations. Other areas of interest include phononics using Raman light scattering spectroscopy, phonon-quasi particle interactions, and the study of metastable phases.
Dr Bhadram obtained his Masters degree in Physics from IIT Roorkee and PhD in Materials Science from JNCASR in Bangalore. After a short stint at Purdue University in West Lafayette as a Visiting Researcher, he did his postdoctoral studies at the Carnegie Institution for Science in Washington, DC and Sorbonne University in Paris.
He has mentored undergraduate interns during his PhD and postdoc tenures. He emphasizes hands-on learning and took part in developing and teaching practical oriented courses for summer interns during his PhD. Outside academic life, he enjoys sports (TT, cricket, and badminton), travelling, gardening, and cooking.
