University of Calicut

Dr. Manu K. M. obtained his M.Sc. in Physics from the University of Calicut and then qualified UGC NET 2009 and GATE 2010 in Physics. He completed his Ph.D. from Kerala University through CSIR - National Institute for Interdisciplinary Science and Technology (NIIST) in 2014. During his doctoral studies under the supervision of Dr. M T Sebastian, his research focused on the development of low dielectric loss silicate based ceramics for LTCC and microwave applications. He joined as Assistant Professor of Physics at Sree Krishna College, Guruvayur in August 2013

One research scholar is doing Ph.D under his guidance. His present research includes ultra low LTCC materials and low loss glass ceramic composites. He is also interested in current trends in theoretical Physics
