Dr. Devendra Kumar’s research interests are in high temperature superconductivity. He has acquired skills in the processing of (RE)-Ba-Cu-O superconductors in bulk and thick films for various technological applications. His current work is focussed in fabricating large single grains of (RE)-Ba-Cu-O superconductors by Top Seeded Melt Growth (TSMG) and Seeded Infiltration Growth (SIG) processes. In addition to the processing, he has proficiency in characterisation tools relevant for superconductivity work. Some of his goals include enhancing the field dependence of critical current densities, trapped magnetic fields of bulks and also in improving the shielding performance of cavities / thick films made out of these materials.
