Background
Saransh completed his Bachelor of Science in Physics with Honours at Chandigarh University, graduating in October 2022. His passion for advanced materials and cutting-edge technology led him to pursue a Master’s in Compound Semiconductor Physics at Cardiff University, from which he graduated in September 2024.
During his master’s studies, Saransh focused on the simulation and parametric enhancement in Red Silicon Single-Photon Avalanche Diodes (Si SPADs) for his thesis. This project not only honed his skills in semiconductor physics but also deepened his interest in the intersection of physics and engineering.
Saransh joined the QUASAR Group as LIV.INNO student in October 2024. His research project, titled "Preparation and Characterisation of ‘Green’ Photocathodes for the Generation of High-Brightness Electron Beams," builds on his academic foundation, aiming to develop environmentally friendly photocathodes. These materials have the potential to revolutionize the production of high-brightness electron beams, crucial for various applications in scientific research and technology.
Beyond his academic achievements, Saransh has demonstrated a consistent curiosity about the practical applications of physics, driving him to explore both theoretical and experimental aspects of semiconductor technologies. His background reflects a blend of rigorous academic training and a forward-looking approach to solving some of today's most pressing technological challenges.
