Mr. Harish Verma | Best Researcher Award

Indian Institute of Technology (Banaras Hindu University) Varanasi | India

Dr. Harish Verma holds a B.Sc (UG), B.Ed, M.Sc (PG), and M.Phil in Physics and has qualified the CSIR-NET JRF examination. He is currently pursuing a Ph.D. in energy storage, dielectric materials, density functional theory (DFT), artificial intelligence (AI), and machine learning (ML) at the Indian Institute of Technology (BHU), Varanasi. His research focuses on the synthesis and characterization of advanced functional materials such as oxide perovskites, spinels, and graphene-based nanocomposites for dielectric and electrochemical energy storage applications. Dr. Verma integrates computational DFT analysis with AI- and ML-assisted materials modeling to accelerate the design and optimization of high-performance materials. His recent works include studies on dielectric and conductivity behavior of SrCeO₃, Ru-doped CNT/graphene-oxide supercapacitors, and MgAl₀.₅Fe₁.₅O₄ spinel ferrite systems. With over 20 scientific publications, an h-index of 6, and more than 90 citations, he has contributed significantly to understanding charge transport, dielectric relaxation, and structure–property relationships in multifunctional ceramics. His research aims to bridge experimental materials science and computational intelligence for developing sustainable, next-generation energy storage technologies and smart functional materials with enhanced performance and stability.
