About myself

Dr. Kuntla Vagdevi, Associate Professor of Physics, joined GRIET in 2005 as an Assistant Professor and has over fifteen years of academic and research experience in Indian universities Dr. K. Vagdevi received her Ph.D. from JNTU Anantapur. Her Ph.D. work was on ‘DFT Calculations for Exploring Graphene Adsorbed with different elements for TCO Applications’, part of which was carried out at Central University Hyderabad, and JNTU Hyderabad.

Dr. Vagdevi’s research interests include developing new Graphene materials used for various Transparent Conducting Oxide materials in which she has more than 10 publications in various journals and conferences.

Prior to PhD, she had earned Master of Science in Physics and Masters of Technology in Space Technology & Applications from Sri Venkateswara University, Tirupathi.

As part of the academic work, she prepared manuals for the labs and handbooks for Engineering Physics, Physics for Engineers and applied Physics subjects.
