Profile and credentials

R Priya (Ravi Priya)

Physicist, Writer, Teaching Assistant

About

I hold a dual master’s degree in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (and a Bachelor’s with Honours in Physics) and working towards my PhD in Surface Physics at Philipps University of Marburg, Germany.

Additionally, I supervise and train bachelor’s and master’s students during their thesis work. I also work with students one-on-one as their tutor for some of their physics lectures.

I am originally from India, and I have the experience of working in experimental laboratories in three different countries in a culturally diverse environment.

Apart from my primary work, I love astrophysics and keep finding ways to involve myself in the latest research. From studying courses taught by Nobel laureate Brian Schmitt and prize-winning educator and researcher Paul Francis to visiting dark sky reserves to make my own observations, I do it all!

I have a strong passion for acquiring new languages. Tamil, my native tongue, was the language I was raised with, while my educational journey took place in an English-medium school. Growing up in the heart of India’s capital city, New Delhi, also made me fluent in Hindi. Additionally, I have a grasp of Sanskrit, and I am actively enhancing my proficiency in the German language.
