Dr. Arun Kumar | Physics | Editorial Board Member

Dr. Arun Kumar is a Post-Doctoral Fellow at the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER), Pune, specializing in multiferroics, strongly correlated systems, spin glasses, and magnetoelectric coupling. His research employs advanced experimental techniques such as X-ray and neutron scattering to investigate structural phase transitions, magnetic ground states, and spin-glass behavior in complex oxide materials, providing critical insights into the interplay between magnetoelastic, magnetoelectric, and dielectric phenomena for the development of next-generation multifunctional materials. Dr. Kumar’s key contributions include elucidating multiple spin-glass transitions, cluster glass phases, and low-temperature magnetic relaxation in disordered perovskites and hexagonal multiferroics, published in high-impact journals such as Physical Review B, Journal of Magnetism and Magnetic Materials, and Journal of Alloys and Compounds. He has also studied the effects of chemical doping, synthesis methods, and structural modifications on the dielectric and magnetic properties of functional materials, significantly advancing understanding of magnetoelectric coupling and energy storage potential. Through active collaboration with multidisciplinary research groups, Dr. Kumar fosters innovation across condensed matter physics, materials science, and applied engineering, with his work contributing to the design of energy-efficient, high-performance dielectric, multiferroic, and magnetoelectric devices and bridging fundamental science with practical technological applications.
